So, I get this question every now and then on whether my tutorials uses
'cross weave'. So, I thought it apt that I write a post on this subject. (*Actual...
Wendy grew up attending art lessons, doing lots of craftwork and wanting to be a fashion designer but ended up reading law and graduated with a LLB(Hons) from the University of London.Her craft-making background includes jewellery boxes, paper bags, scrapbook, photo frames, greeting cards, patchwork, basic crochet, needle sewing and origami.
It was fate that jewellery making found its way to her life, something she taught herself during the early stages of recovery from a brain aneurysm back in 2006 and has never looked back since.
She goes mad over clusters of beads and colours. It is her fascination with pretty shiny things that makes her passionate about jewellery making. She’s even more passionate about finding her inner creative muse.
Like any other girl, she loves fashion, shoes and bags and finds it hard to resist ice-creams and jellies.When she’s not making jewellery, she pens down her jewellery making journey in The Work Room or catches up with the latest news and gossips of Hallyu (That's Korean's answer to Hollywood, just in case you're wondering ;).
She is currently based in Perak, Malaysia and welcomes all customization query. :)
How often do you buy a piece of jewellery only to bump into someone else who also has the same piece? How often do you see jewellery pieces sold on the market which looks similar if not the same? How often are these jewellery pieces a carbon copy with no life or soul of its own?
At Atelier Wendy Sue, we want you to know that much care and thought has been put into the creation of each piece of jewelry here, each with their own story to tell which makes it uniquely yours to own. It is this craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing
The chain store culture and global manufacturing has left us dressing and wearing alike. No two individuals are created the same, and so should what we wear.
Let's start the new year with some luck, shall we? ;) This set consists of double strand charm necklace and charm bracelets made from the lucky feather charm. Other beads used are 8mm Pink cloissone beads, larger Peach glass beads, 6mm gold plated metal bead, 7mm oval White freshwater pearls and 5mm peach Lavender freshwater pearls, finished off with chunky antique finishing gold toggle clasps. All made from gold plated wires and gold plated chains.
The design for China is kept simple and straightforward with nothing too fussy. Casually simple but elegantly tasteful nonetheless. :) China is made from 8mm Pink cloissone beads, 4mm Swarovski crystal pearls in Bronze, 6mm gold plated metal bead. and hand formed lucky ‘8’ connector. All made from gold plated wires.
A very labour intensive wire wrapped piece from gold plated wires. Cross pendant is wire wrapped with 4mm Swarovski crystal pearl in cream. Necklace is a made from a hand formed figure 8 connector with 4mm Swarovski crystal pearl in cream and 4mm Swarovski crystal in Crystal.
Measures: 16”
Pendant measures: ¾” X 1 ½”
This I find is the essence of simplicity but with the charm of feminity. Well, if that makes any sense to you at all…..lol. ;)
Made from very organic shaped fresh water pearls in Café Latte, a milky brown colour. Noticed how each pearl bead is very organically shaped without any defined structure? Isn’t that how we, women sometimes are too? :) Each pearl bead measures approximately 5 to 6mm.
The dainty cross pendant at the centre of the necklace is wire wrapped using gold plated wires with 4mm White Swarovski crystal pearl.
Measures: 16”
Pendant measures: ½” X ¾”
We glam up the symbolic snowflake pendant here using 72 pcs of 3mm and 4mmSwarovski crystal in Crystal, Crystal AB and Crystal AB 2X. Lotsa bling bling here! But don’t be fool by the amount of beads used. The pendant is very lightweight. Strung on silver plated chain and finished off with a silver plated lobster clasp.
Measures: 18”
Pendant measures: 1 ¼” X 1 ¼” X ¼”
Shall we also not forget about the classic cross necklace? :)
Beaded from 62 pcs of 4mm and 5mm Swarovski crystals in Crystal and Crystal AB. With the same bling and glam factor, strung on silver plated clasp and finished off with silver plated lobster clasp.
Measures: 18”
Pendant measures: 1 ¼” X 1 ½” X ¼”
We continue the collection with gothic inspired pieces but given a modern twist. Necklace is made in lariat style with tassels of cross charm and beads. What I love about lariat style necklaces is the care free, laid back style where how you wear it is not constricted by any clasp. Wear them how so you want it. Earrings and bracelet features a handmade cross charm. Made from a variety of sizes of 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm Swarovski crystal bicone bead in Jet and Black Diamond with gunmetal chain and findings.
Aquathyst. I love how that word sounds. Sounds like the name of a new found rare gem, does’t it? ;) Aquathyst is made from Aquamarine and Amethyst gemstone chips. Necklace is made in a choker style to show off the centrepiece dangle. The centrepiece dangles of Aquamarine and Amethyst gemstone chips is highlighted by the Crystal AB rhinestone spacer. Earrings are made with clusters of the chips at the top with two strands of drop dangles. Bracelet is made edgier with sections of the gemstone chips fragmented by coils of silver plated jump rings. Very edgy indeed.
I’m a big fan of Kpop and I follow the latest news and gossip of Hallyu. That’s Korean’s answer to Hollywood, in case you’re wondering ;)
One of the anticipated comeback artist of the year is Uhm Jung Hwa, known as the Madonna of Korea.
Anyway, her first single was Disco and I totally dig that song! Love it! Very retro-ish with a catchy chorus. You can check out the video of this song below.
So, now you know how this piece was inspired. I used a very colourful palette of 4mm Swarovski crystals to represent, what I think, would be in the spirit of disco. Blue Zircon, Capri Blue, Rose, Peridot, Rose Alabaster, Tanzanite all jumbled up to come up with this kaleidoscope of disco ball charm. You gotta love ‘em D-D-D-D-I-S-S-S-SC-O! ;)
Necklace is made from two disco ball charms which end with tassels of 4mm Swarovski crystal bicone beads in Capri Blue. Earrings is just a simple disco ball charm drop earrings.
