Double Bicone Earrings – day 175

There is beauty in simplicity, and this is what I absolutely love about this earrings!  What a way to display the swirls of magazine color.  The double bicone bead is made from stacking several strips of paper, depending on how big you want your bead to be.

Jane’s Creations

It is very encouraging to see other paper bead buffs come up with really creative ideas in making jewelry with paper beads.  Jane’s been busy making paper beads jewelry and each one is beautiful and inspiring.  Her “Melody” set is for her sister Melody, made with music sheet.  Do you collect vintage music sheet?  I love how she put bead caps and painted the tips.

I love the almost winter look to this one, and the fact that the bead itself is a connector! Good job Jane!

I have been making a lot of this ring lately, too.  It displays the bead itself really well.

This set is elegant, can be worn with the little black dress!

Elim, just like the rest of us got hooked on making paper beads, and she makes some real nice ones.  She also blogs about her other interests like polymer clay and fun jewelry, you can see some of her stuff including a watch with a band made out of paper beads, here.

She certainly has an eye for color! I recognize some beads from the bead swap 🙂
