Knitted ring brooch



Materials : Variegated yarn, glass beads and scrap fabric.
Project duration : 1 week for the knitted ring and 1 day for the brooch.
Project finished : 21st June, 2007
Project idea : My own

Comment : I used the weaving tool that I bought to make a knitted cord. But what can I do with this long cord? Then came an idea to use it to make a brooch like what I had done in the picture. It's just a simple brooch with just twisted the cord to form a flower, added in scrap fabric and glass beads. Not very satisfy with the outcome, I'll add in maybe lace to make it more interesting later.

Turquoise bracelet


Materials : Turquoise in 2 sizes, bead cap, ring hook and blue quartz.

Project duration : 1 days (begin and end on 16.06.07)
Project idea : My own

Comments : A simple bead design for the first time like me. It's just made from few turquoise connected to sterling bead cap and then join it together by ring hook and I added in blue quartz in between of them. I faced difficulty making the twisted round hook at the end of the stone and I guess practise make perfect. Therefore I will make more jewelry to practise my skill.
