Everything Cloisonne

It was like a mission to be accomplished when I first set my eyes on some cloisonne beads at a supplier's shop. I got myself a few selection of beads to start my experiments. Here are the outcomes...

• Chinese knots bracelet
• "Butterfly" bracelet

• Gold cloisonne ball bead earrings
• "Pipa" earrings
• Green cloisonne tube bead earrings

During the experiments, I have chinese knotting in mind. It was implemented into most of my designs using cloisonne beads.


*** Next : new bracelets coming soon....

          

Recycling Crafts

I always have the habit of keeping some old stuffs that I might use them as crafts later. Paper, cards, envelopes, old jewellery, ribbons & so on. Well, this recent Chinese New Year, I managed to use some of them (to clear some of my craft clutters).

"Using recycled stuff to create original new design craft  and to reduce clutters" 

"Butterfly with Love" 

       

                    "Red & Pink Blossoms" "Ceiling

Blossoms"

For the "Butterfly with Love", I used old Chinese New Year (CNY) envelopes (thicker ones).

Instructions (Butterfly) :

1) Cut 2 circles from the paper and crepe them up.

2) Tie them up at the middle with a string.

3) Insert a 3 inch thin wire at the centre of the crepe paper and bend 2 spirals at each end.

4) Glue a gold labucci at the top of the wire.

"Red Lantern"             "Tripple

                                     Happiness"

For the "Red Lantern", I used "Ang Pow" packets. This is my first lantern and there are some areas I need to improve. Second lantern is in my craft list somewhere before the next CNY. That time, I will insert my Chinese knotting in the craft.

As for the "Tripple Happiness", I managed to get an old brooch as the "tail".

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!
