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.

Celtic Pearl - NOT AVAILABLE


The intricate jacket design is called Celtic Lace, or so the book says. A 8mm glass pearl hangs from the bottom of the jacket. I don’t know why, I seemed to like pearls a lot. They are so easy to match, and they go with everything!

Now belongs to Eunice!

Gina - S$5


Gina is a pair of loopy loopy earrings, notice how the wire was made to loop over loop? A Czech glass bead hangs from the loopy jacket, finish off with some more loops.

Eiffel Earrings - NOT AVAILABLE


The earrings jacket kinda resembles the Eiffel Tower, eh? It is made with the help of a Wigjig, something which I have bought ages ago, without actually getting down to using it till now…

A 6mm glass pearl hangs from the "Eiffel" jacket, lending it a sorta elegant look.

Look what I made!!?!

I went for a wire wrapping course.
Yup, I took the plunge and took a course.
Taught by a real professional, not by books that I bought or borrowed...
And I paid for the course myself.

Wire wrapping.
It was quite simple, really...
But hey, it became simple because I went for the course already, ok!?!
Wahahahahahahaha~~!?
I enjoyed myself, and learned quite a few things.

That's enough, no revealing of trade secrets, eh?
:-) Well, I made these pieces during the 2-hr course.



Beautiful, aren't they? My friends loved the heart-shaped one.
I personally liked the donut.
It is simple, and elegant.
Anyway, we also learn how to tie those knots that enable the leather cord to slide up and down in order to adjust the necklace length.

Money spent worthwhile, I'd say.
