Swirls Of Spring – day 114

Posted on Apr 24, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 3 comments

These beads are made from left over scraps of gift wrapping paper.  I love how it has all the pastel colors that signifies spring!  It has been crazy (good) in our shop lately, we realized that we haven’t done anything for Easter.  Kayla, put this together just for you 🙂

Mix Stones And Paper Beads – day 113

Posted on Apr 23, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I love using gem stones with paper beads because it does not only give it more value it makes you appreciate more the beauty of paper beads.  Bicone shape paper beads are wire wrapped and mixed with jasper, adventurine and onyx.

Abalone And Green Beads – day 112

Posted on Apr 22, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 3 comments

I chose teal olive shaped paper beads to be the backdrop for this beautiful abalone shell. I love the changing color of the shell that is also being picked up by the green and black swirls of the paper beads.

I love abalone shell, and the sheen and the play of colors that can only come from Mother Nature.

When we were doing the show, a lot of people mistake the beads as shells, they can look like shells or wood beads and to me that is great compliment 🙂

Bead Tubes Chained – day 111

Paper Bead tubes in what I call parfait colors are attached to a metal chain, for an eclectic look.  I love mixing metal and paper sometimes, kind of hot and cold, water and fire in the spirit of opposites definitely attracts!
