I was just thinking about it the other day that I did not miss wearing business clothes, suits and high heels. I am grateful that I don’t have to do that anymore, once a month, maybe. I work from home most of the time, go to the shop, run errands…….and always dress casual but always [...]
Our feature for today are the handiwork of Ashley and Emily! It is exciting to me seeing the different things that “Paper Beaders”, (I think from now on this is what I would call anybody who is into making paper beads, agreed?) , made out of their kit. So, here’s what I got [...]
My sister Joann had a break from her hectic “filling up paper bead orders schedule” and decided to have a little fun on the side, still with paper beads. Her other hobby which occupies her time when she can tear herself away from making paper beads is gardening. Somehow, she found a way to combine [...]
I had a most relaxing, fun-filled Sunday playing with paper. I am sharing this with you so you can try it, and see for yourself how much fun it is! I had so much left over craft paint from previous projects and just have to use them before they harden up and then I would [...]
We have concluded the Paper Bead Trade and I’d say that it was successful because of all the nice people who participated, who stayed committed to the project with enthusiasm and genuine interest in each others work. We have somehow came to know each other here. Here’s some of beautiful creations from Elim, Liz, Deina [...]
I have always love tiaras although I do not own one. I actually made one in my 100th post and gave it away. I recently picked up a book on a whim Crowns and Tiaras by Kerri Judd and Danyel Montecinos and I’m sure glad I did (nothing wrong with impulse buying after all) [...]
Hello paper bead traders Your kits were all sent out; paper beads, beads, elastic, ring and earring findings, and what goes on in your mind is hmmm, what to do with it. My suggestion; keep it simple. It is quite a challenge to design something when you have these different kinds of paper [...]
Catherine got her kit today and made a necklace and earrings! She said in her email to me that she has very little experience at jewelry making, but I think she did a marvelous job. Every one of you got one or two of the saucer shaped bead, and she made that to be the [...]
I love leafing through catalogs that I get from the mail, getting ideas (why go to Milan?), and turning them into paper beads after. I love the Jjill clothing line, they are comfy and perfect for just lounging at home. This necklace and earrings set, caught my eye, and here’s our version of it in [...]
….and a little bit of that, is how the Paper Bead Soup was made. I really didn’t have the time to make anything, and now that things are not as hectic, I made a few paper beads made out of black scrap booking paper. I tend to gravitate towards the colorful prints, so I am [...]
