simple designs

I am still trying to create my own simple designs, in my wire jewelry projects like the design of the bracelets. Why bracelets? I like making them, the earrings and necklaces come next lang.

This is a jade infinity charm, I knotted through the infinity openings the red synthethic leather strings. The green jade promotes good health, symbolizes and attracts wealth, and the red color of the synthetic leather connotes strength, power.

Simple and yet arresting to look at. It exudes strong energy and attracts good chi!  

And this is my first 10K gold charm bracelet, V* from the actng. dept. bought it.
  
I used class A emerald green glass beads, nickel accessories, and sturdy elastic strings with this bracelet. Emerald green is the color of money for 2013. Some fung shui masters promote wearing this color to attract wealth.

I like it when sunlight strikes the beads, the beads reflect the sun's light like a prism. The other bracelets with white beads reflects the sun's light in a rainbow of colors! You should see it. :)

made in Macalelon, Quezon

To while away the time, I created some bracelets and a bangle made of 10K goldwire, 10K gold tubes, 10K gold locks, Swarovzki crystals and some class A glass beads (they are very clear and dazzle like real crystals) and charms like the infinity symbol.

The bangle below was made with Swarovzki crystals, 10K gold balls, 10K gold tubes, a 10K gold lock, and a 7mm 10K gold wire to which I inserted the rest of the materials.



This bracelet is made of jade, class A glass beads and nickel accessories. The charm pendant is the symbol for infinity or eternity. In oriental beliefs, especially to the Chinese, Koreans, Taiwanese, and even the Japanese (I think, or you may send your comments on this), it means "forever" or being constant or always. Like constantly in good luck, constantly in good health, prosperity or wealth is forever, and so
on.


This rosary bracelet is made of class A glass beads. This bracelet is so pretty when sunlight strikes the beads. Rainbow colors bounce off like when sunlight goes through a prism.


Another shot of the same rosary bracelet. Both pictures were not able to catch the stone's crystal-like glitter though.

green and loving it!

I've been trying to make jewelries for about 4 years now. It began as a hobby to fill in my boring weekends especially when everybody is having an afternoon nap and its just too hot for me to doze off.

Here are some of the things I made at the start of this year. I am trying to refine my wireworks. Actually I'm not even sure what to call the things I did. If they're wire jewelries or what. Just that I love doing these.

This is a jade bracelet. I used a jade with a heart shape and a lotus design for its main piece.

A necklace made of jade chips and its jade pendant is shaped like a gourd (believed to bring prosperity to the owner).

This bracelet is made of emerald green colored crystal beads. For 2013 the lucky color is emerald green which symbolizes wealth, abundance, and good health.

rooftop prince


my fave Korean drama


if i am going to fall in love and lose like Park Ha the hurt would be much stronger and i will feel it longer than the time i endured after my first boyfriend and i parted ways and even more bitter and empty than the aftermath of my first serious relationship combined with that of how I felt when my husband had a relationship with a bad woman.

how can one survive with the thought of losing half of yourself to time restrictions?

      
. . . that both of you exist in different time periods? pining for each other's presence...that is very hard to bear. if you are a strong person, you can go on but your heart and mind are empty . . . sleep will not come to you easily, being alone is like being in a time warp...i have endured, so i know that what i felt is surely double of what Park Ha must have felt before Yong Tae finally woke up from coma and then they met...and reconnected . . .

 

if Park Ha felt so empty, it must be harder for Lee Gak. with hundred of years between them . . .
