Music sheets specially vintage one somehow evokes memories of family, old times and even if you do not play any musical instruments you appreciate the musical notes on those pieces.  This Musical Paper Link Bracelet is for all the music lovers 🙂

The paper links would also be great as multi strand necklace with several layers of paper links in all shapes and sizes, don’t you think?

Picture Jasper – day 199

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

Picture jasper is one of my favorite stones to work with because they are real stones and yet inexpensive.  It looks like a mini painting all done by mother nature.  JTV’s jewel school has a few selections and they are on sale.  You can find them here. During my last visit to JTV, Christiane (she is one of the talented jewel school team) made this beautiful pendant!

Can you believe this is chainmaille framing the pendant?  I never thought of using chainmaille this way, I always crochet around a cabochon but this is pretty!

Jewel School offers kits and tutorials on chainmaille, so go ahead check out their free videos.  Lauren, the Chaimaille Lady will show you how.

I am glad to be a part of your journey in finding your creative side.
