Paper Bead Angels
I wanted to have fancy names for these Angel Earrings, I look at them and I think of ballerinas or Victorian ladies dancing the waltz, they are just whimsical figures that help us celebrate the Holiday Seasons.
Paper Peapods Pendants
I love the new shapes of paper pea pods, I still marvel at the idea that they are shaped to look like a cocoon and can actually hold little treasures or mementos. It can be many things; a prayer box or pod, a good luck horn, a wishing pod, how about a worry pod – you can write your little prayers, wishes and worries on a little piece of paper and tuck it in there. I think it is a great gift idea, don’t you think?
I made this pendant for my son, to wish him good luck and wrote some encouragement on a piece of paper. He likes whimsical characters so included a dragon charm. The evil eye is to ward off bad spirits.
The smaller pea pods are great as pendants, the bigger one can be a car charm hanger.
Possibilities are endless……
Paper Peapods
We are gearing up for the upcoming Craft and Hobby Association Winter Trade Show to be held in Los Angeles this January 29th. We are trying to come up with new designs, new shapes to be introduced at the show. One of the new things is what I call Paper Peapods or Memory keepers. I do not have an official name for it yet…..
When I first got this, so many things I can do with it comes to mind. They come in beautiful colors.
Hopefully in my next post I will be able to show you finished pendants
Paper Gems Collectibles
I am launching Kolek’ems today! What are they? They are paper gems bracelets. I likened them to a gem because just like a gem these paper bead bracelets are precious and something to treasure and keep. Each one of them are hand cut, hand rolled and hand varnished to a glossy finished that makes them water resistant. Not only are they so well made, the colors are as vibrant as the magazine pages that they came from.
In-between paper beads are little coordinating seed beads, you don’t need anything more the beautiful pattern of the paper speaks for itself!
What a great way to show your “green” side, This would be pretty by itself or mix with your other jewelry.
The colors are just beautiful and vibrant!
Want to make a statement? Stack them up 🙂
