Fiona's Bead Bar

This weblog serves as a showcase for my bead projects. They started mostly as gifts for my friends. I normally do only one-time pieces, so they are kinda "exclusive", if you know what I mean. :) Do check back often for updates!


If you see anything you like, feel free to email me, and we will work something out.

Again, "red stones" from Bangkok.
Earrings now belongs to SP.

No name


I sat at my laptop, trying to think of a suitable name for this piece.
It was made from stones SP bought from Bangkok; And the necklace now belongs to Gwen.
Only complaint from her: It is too heavy!
P.S. Dun ask me what stone it is, but I know they are heavy stones! Wahahaha! Luckily the base metal pieces are hollow!

Memory wire bracelets


Spent the weekend doing this.

Memory wire is easy to insert the beads, provided the holes in the beads are big enough.
But cutting and bending the wires requires much strength.
I am typing with a bruised palm right now, from gripping the cutters and pliers.

Anyhow, I enjoyed myself, bruised palm or not.I will post so more of the memory wire bracelets soon. Watch for it.
