Cubic RAW necklace
This has been one of my favorite projects to make. Once you get the hang of the weaving technique, it just happens naturally
For this beautiful black and necklace I used Tubular Right angle weave or cubic RAW with size 8 seed beads and ending with size 10 black seed beads

Shopping bag Pendant
This is from one of so many websites which keep sending you email ever so often with craft ideas. This is a pendant using plastic shopping bags. I used two shopping bags, one in yellow and one in brown.
Using a leaf template cut many leaves out of the bags and burn them using a grill lighter and put a hole in it and hang it from a chain. Mine is golden colored Aluminium chain

Even Count Tubular Peyote
I have had a necklace for ages and I love it, love it, love it. And I , for long, wondered what stitch was used to make it. And finally I figured it out and made a necklace by myself using the "Even Count Tubular Peyote Stitch" . It is a bit time consuming but the results are AAAmazing
I used seed beads in shiny blue, green, turquoise and gold. And I love it

Twisted Wire Earrings
When I was taking bead and metal jewelry class our teacher showed us how to twist the metal wires. One thing that I learnt is if the wire is round you cannot twist it. It has to be hammered into a flat wire and then twist it. This pair of earrings were made as a gift to one of the best gal pals I ever had

Okinawa Chainmaille Set
At one time I was taking some jewelry classes and the teacher ordered some very colorful Aluminum jump rings for us. And those Aluminum jump rings are so much more easier than the regular steel jump rings.
These bracelets here are made using the Okinawa Chainmail method or the 12-in-2 chain maille method. I made two variations of the same technique. Both the bracelets have a toggle clasp at the end and the colors are just lovely.
