zz. Pete’s Red Jumper
This is kinna boring, I know. But thought I would plonk this in anyway as a personal archival. This is my first jumper made for Pete. The first he has ever deigned to wear. And it is for our first cold winter here in our new abode. So here is Pete’s Red Jumper (pics only).
z.Squiggle Earrings with St Petersburg Stitch (CH0192)
I created this pair of Squiggle Earrings (CH0192) a long time ago (April 2012?). I lost my construction notes. Unless they decide to turn up at some future date. There are, however, notes, ideas, tutorials links, tip and stuff on how to bead St Petersburg Stitch.
Z. Solomon’s Knot Fine Crochet Shawl (CH0330)
Sometime last year (2013) I saw a photo on Facebook that got me itching to attempt a fine crochet shawl done in Solomon’s Knot.
z.Clip-on Earrings for Mama (CH0329)
My sweet mama has ear holes. But she prefers clip-on earrings now. I have some Picasso Jasper carved gemmies. I have some clip-on earrings findings. I have beads! And away we go! Pictorial steps from inception to clip-on!
Busy Happy – Mix Media Necklace, the journey
If I had to name this necklace, I would simply call it “Busy Happy”. It is kind of busy (so I have been told) and it has a very happy feel (so I have been told).
Now we will go on a pictorial journey on the making of this mix media necklace, including link to detailed notes on how to create your own customised glass cabochons, complete with beads and connector rings.
Cornucopia of Media – Jewelry Felting with Color
Okay, not solely jewelry felting .. but that is how it starts. First, the end piece.
But it all begins with some fluff (felting wool). I will let the pictures walk you through. This project of jewelry felting and mix media was started in April 2014, then life and work got squished in, and was only completed on 29 Jun 2014.

Z. Rugged Crochet Rug – Recycling Bedsheets
Recycling Bedsheets into a Crochet Rug was very satisfying. And rather pleased with the result as well.
This happened while I was “homeless”. Which meant, almost no tools nor materials on hand. Instead I got some old bed sheets from the local op shop and a large crochet hook. After a few experimentations and multiple re-dos, I settled on the crochet stitches of choice.
z.Wire Netting: How to Wire Net Bezel a Cabochon
How to Wire Net Bezel a Cabochon with Wire Netting
Using wire netting to bezel a cabochon is what I wanted to learn. Here are the first couple of results. I watched a very useful basic video Wire Weave Cabochon Bezel Tutorial by Camille Sharon (see vid towards end part of this article) on YouTube. Even though she was teaching the Viking Weave, she also covered wire netting towards the end.
In my attempts here, I made use of the basic principles but added a few things like starting from the front and adding beads as I weaved the wire. I have also included tips as to how to get the wire netting more snug, neat, and regular.
z. Door Stop: Woky Traveller mix media door stopper
With this “Woky Traveller” door stop, I may just take a rest from these quirky doorstoppers for a while. “Woky Traveller” should be able to hold tight the last banging door in the house. For now. This article, though containing its usual load of detailed photos, will more be a photographic journey than a step-by-step tutorial on how to make door stops.
“Woky Traveller” has been made almost exclusively from recycled old materials and scraps of discarded fabrics.
