In How to Wire Wrap Small Gemstones are some basic pointers and steps on how to wire wrap little stones that have no holes in them. I made this method up myself in an endeavour to combine wire work and the making use of smaller, non-standard sized gemstone nuggets.
Following a visitor request, I have added some images and notes on how to make the Crochet foldaway bag. It is more for people who are already familiar with the basics of crochet and especially useful for anyone who is familiar with following graphical instructions employing Japanese crochet stitch icons. Please free to contact me if you have any queries. I hope you will enjoy making your own wonderful crochet foldaway bag :)
As a companion to some new crochet notes I made today, I have also put up a basic Legend for Japanese Crochet Stitches. It is fairly basic but for anyone who is not familiar with the crochet stitch icons used universally in Japanese Graphical Crochet instructions but is familiar with English Crochet terminology, this Legend for Japanese Crochet Stitches should prove useful.
New and detailed information on those amazing Swarovski zippers has now been added: Classic Zipper, Magic Zipper, and Brilliant Zipper.
I have updated and added information on Swarovski's (zipper) pullers. Price guides included plus crystal color avaibility. These findings are direct from Swarovski and they are fabulous - you can use them as pullers for zippers and also in an assortment of jewelry making, arts, and crafts. :)
