A glimpse of my Wire Art hobby

Looking back at some of the crafts I did before brought back lots of memories. Wire Art was something I picked up on my own. I was browsing at a bookstore and came across this book on Wire art. I loved the fact that a simple piece of wire can actually be so versatile. I couldn't resist but bought it and started experimenting. I was thrilled upon completing my first necklace. It was a skill I gradually picked up through exploring and fine-tuning.

 

Wilson (my husband) shared my excitement and my sister, Wendy, kept encouraging me to sell my creations. She even came out with the brand name, 'Wir'art' and designed the logo for me.  The three of us started selling them at the Parkway handy craft fair. It was a hit! Thanks to Wendy (who studied media design) who  helped me with the shop's concept. She was also the marketeer at most of the fairs. We also participated in hotel fairs which were fantastic. I subsequently consigned some of the more sophisticated creations to a shop at at Esplanade and sales was promising. Retailers also started to place orders for their shops. Wilson picked up the skill as well to help me as and when he was free to.

The entire jounrney was fun and fulfilling. Upon expecting Ethan, I gradually stopped. My tools are still around and I am now looking for insipiration to rekindle this hobby of mine sometime soon.
