Nested Paper Bead Rings – day 119
These fun Nested Rings, is my version of the meshed earrings I made which has become quite popular. They are are just like little pop corn balls but so much prettier:)
I form them into balls by crocheting the beads and wire wrapping them together.
It can be considered a cocktail ring but certainly can be worn during daytime as well.
Kissing Turtles Necklace day 118
These are turtles are “rescued” from a bracelet bought at a thrift store. The tube paper beads has the deeper blue swirls or should I say swells because this whole piece just reminds me of the beach and the ocean.
I love the meaning and symbolism behind the turtle, that of longevity, patience and long life.
Simple Chain Maille Bracelet – day117
One of my “to do list” is to learn chain maille, it looks complicated to me but I know it’s just a matter of learning it and basically just try, right? When I saw the EZ Jump Ring Maker, I thought of giving it a try. Here’s what I made using the peacock blue artistic wire.
It comes with instructions and everything but here’s a video on how I did it.
….showing you how to put a simple bracelet together.
It’s fun to learn something new and try different things, so many things to do…..
Paper Bead Medallion-day 116
Several magazine strips are tightly coiled into a big button bead or saucer shape bead. I love how you can see the swirls of colors that look like tree rings. This Big Medallion Pendant is one nice conversation piece!
This has just a very organic feel to it. It hangs from brown silk cord hand knotted with small round paper beads. I just love how this turned out.
