One of my inspirations in jewelry-making is Eni Oken. Her pieces are so beautifully done: very intricate and detailed. I love the way she uses tiny charms on her work.She has a beautiful website with free tutorials for beginners. I learned how to wire-wrap using some of her tutorials. Some my earliest pieces were made using her Tutorial 007: Fat Wrap Bead. I also learned to add charms to my pieces because of the beauties I saw on her site.All the pieces featured in this blog entry are all Eni Oken pieces. I love her work!
finally done with my first ever shipment! wow. i'm glad and relieved and impressed. *grin*

done with the blues. now about to get my hands into inky black and the last of my purples. =)
went to the silver village again to purchase some bali beads - i ran out last night. came back home and had lunch with my sweet man then decided to go grocery shopping with him. arrived back home just in time to prepare for dinner.while he was preparing dinner, i decided to start on the blues. chose the stones and decided where to put each one. made some head pins for the set and started putting them together. wasn't halfway done when dinner was ready.finished them way after dinner, about the time we finished watching the second installment for "The Stand."
