Yes, I have been neglecting my blogs a bit! Actually a lot! No excuses really but then I thought if I had nothing to say might as well stay quiet. Anyway… I have been having more fun with pearls and made a few Freshwater pearl strings which I wanted to share:

Another Herringbone Weave piece

Shalini — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 08:51:24 +0000

Here’s a herringbone weave pendant I made last night. Its Amethyst and Rose Quartz on Silver Plated Copper Wire. The necklace is made of cotton thread in the Kumihimo braiding style.

Pearl & Copper Herringbone Weave Bracelet & Necklace Set

In recent times I have not done a lot of wire wrapping. I don’t know why. Probably because I have spent a lot of time exploring new ideas for making necklaces and chains using Kumihimo braiding. More about that later…

But I have started playing with wire again. Inspired by my friend Sheri in Canada I made a Herringbone Wire Weave style Bracelet and Earrings Set. Its something I did a little bit of ages ago, then put it away. I was not satisfied with how it looked and put it away to come back to it later. The later never happened! Well it has now!

This is my first attempt – its copper wire and 8-9mm freshwater pearls. Not bad for a first attempt if I say so myself

And this is what inspired me: Stunning Wedding Set by Wyvern’s Whims
