I'm currently making 100 pieces of bookmarks for a shipment to the Philippines. I will post some of the items in the site as I make them.

Right now, though, I'm patiently wrapping wires on the leather strip bases.

Into My Toybox

I've been into beading since I was in Primary School. I made little beaded bracelets and bag pendants and what-nots for family and friends. My fascination for beads never stopped.

Moving to Bali has exposed me to their beautiful silver and their various resources for beautiful beads. I quickly learned how to wire-wrap - self-taught and online - and got my toybox together.

Some of the pieces here are projects which I've made in my journey through learning this wonderful art. Some of the pieces are my own creations inspired by the various handcrafters around the globe.

If you move your cursor over my posts, you might find some tutorials and other valuable sites. I've linked in my favorite inspirational sites, a few informational ones about Bali and its culture and some tutorials which I've used one way or another in creating my own pieces. I hope you enjoy furrowing through my toybox as much as I do.

If you are interested in any single piece, send me an e-mail at purplbutrfly.jewelry@gmail.com and we'll see if they're available for you.
