Paper Bead Buttons – day 268
Button beads! Not just any buttons but made out of paper! I just received new beads from Philippines, in lovely magazine colors. I love these small button beads and I’m sure you will too. I made a few things with it, when I see new beads I couldn’t get my hand off them! So here is a pair of chandelier earrings and a video!
Pretty Paper Beads, light as breeze!
Eco Elegance – day 267
Watch out! This necklace is not for the faint of heart:) Made out of the Saucer Beads in beautiful vibrant colors. I just got this shipment today from my sister in the Philippines and couldn’t wait to put one piece of jewelry together. I think this style plays on the different views of the necklace, don’t you think?
It will go nice with a white crisp shirt! I will post a photo of me when I have time to play dress up:)
Here is me trying it on!
Bead Crochet Bangles -day 262 to 266
Today, I am showing you a gallery of bangles I did using seed beads. A few years ago, I was an avid jewelry maker, still is except now I mainly use paper beads. From time to time I had to feed my passion of making jewelry using different kind of beads. To stay true to my mission of promoting paper beads, I had to incorporate a circlet charm of tiny paper beads in each bracelet. Take a look:
I love frogs for its symbolism of prosperity and abundance!
The greens just spells spring and summer for me.
Infinitely enticing in purple!
I call this Infinity Interrupted and you can see why:)
I hope I have inspired you today…..
Rose Wire Bangle-day 261
Wire crochet makes really elegant pieces, I have made several and will continue making it. I did this piece using 28 gauge copper color (rose) wire as the canvass for the rivoli crystals and paper bead leaves and buttons. If you already know crochet, don’t be intimidated to crochet with wire just treat it like it is yarn only more forgiving. Any mistakes is easily hidden and unrecognizable even to a trained eye.
Taking ordinary to extraordinary!
