I didn’t know what to do with the different leftover barrel shaped paper beads, they are so rich in color with shiny metallic paper they remind me of spools of metallic yarn. If you are like me who loves funky and unusual jewelry, you would love this necklace.
Several strips of paper went into the making [...]
I did a post on paper beads out of hand made paper. I remember it being fun and the fact that I did not really know what the outcome was going to be added to the excitement that is part of process when you make something. If I were watching a movie I would have [...]
