True Magazine Colors- day 110
This is another take on the ladder stitch, using large tube paper beads with beautiful magazine colors. The tube paper beads are the easiest to make, and when you make them big enough, it will show the different colorways of the magazine where you cut it from.
The tubes measures 1 1/4 inch and the middle part is 1/4 inch wide. I have done several versions of the ladder stitch bracelet using silk cord, wire, elastic and even chains (my next project).
Not your ordinary ladder bracelet 🙂
Flower Medallion Pendant – day 109
I love how this Flower Medallion turned out, it started out as a project following a certain pattern and ended up as being free form. I love using the small paper beads for weaving projects that calls for seed beads, like wire work and peyote stitch, which I want to try one of these days.
I have a video I want to share with you on this piece…..
I love the fact that it can be worn in different ways.
I made little earrings from the left over fresh water pearls with just the hematite color seed beads to match. I love when you wear matching pieces as long as it’s not too matchy, matchy 🙂
The Color Of Earth- day 108
We are celebrating Earth Day this week with the Color Of Earth Necklace. What a great way to show your fashionista side and your green side:) Long necklaces are definitely in and neutral tones just goes with everything!
As you can see, tiny paper beads are hand knotted using brown silk cord.
Happy Earth Day Everyone!
Teal On Lavender Bracelet – day 107
I like the idea of making your own beads, don’t you? Paper bead making has come a long way, it is not just a kids craft anymore. With the popularity of mixed media jewelry, beaders and crafters have pushed the limits of their creativity in creating their own beads and incorporating found objects into their pieces. Here, Kayla made beads out of scrap booking paper using our bamboo paper bead roller.
Kayla, chose the opalescent teal crystal, and the silver bead cap completes the look.
