Kuntum

Kuntum [coon-toom] flower bud; blossom (Bahasa Melayu)

I have always loved woven and intricate jewelry so when I chanced upon this pattern which was originally meant for a totally different piece of jewelry, I modified it and made it my own. Ah yes, Kuntum has been a labor of love and even though I almost went blind from all the minute details that this sort of weaving requires (ok fine, I'm exagerating :P ), I would gladly do it again. No, seriously. :)
