Today, I have some eye candy for you from one of my talented followers Manou If you remember, Manou made the mini Matryoshka dolls which she hand painted. Manou just took paper bead painting to the next level in these little sweet treats she made.

Can you believe they are all made from paper? My favorite is the wedding cake.

Fat free, calorie free and totally delicious

Manou, thank you for sharing your talent in paper bead making with us. We all had our fill of delicious desserts today:)

The Philippine Scene

I thought I’d take a break from our usual topic of paper beads, so I’d like to imagine for one moment that I am back in the Philippines known as the Pearl of the Orient and I get to show you the people, places, fruits and the crafts by so many talented Filipinos. Who am I kidding? I am still here, on my desk typing away in my lap top, imagining I am there. I am not complaining, I am lucky to be living in sunny California. These images, were taken by a good friend of mine Vic Sy, he decided to take a trip to Philippines and was kind enough to send me images of whatever catches his fancy.

Pottery is one of the cottage industry that turn out nice beautiful pots not only to be used as planters but also as vessel for water that is mostly found in the homes of most folks who lives in the provinces.

The fruits are all year round, having only two seasons of the year, rainy and sunny days.

I could almost taste the mangoes, delicious.

This one is called guayabano, tangy and sweet, great for juice also.

This is the jeepney, preferred means of transportation.

The water buffalo commonly know as carabao, is a farmer’s best friend and a treasured possession.

This is one of old houses, you can still very much see the Spanish influence in the architecture.

I hope you have enjoyed a glimpse of the Philippines. I know there’s a lot of beautiful places to see…..

Chandelier Paper Bead Earrings by Cindy

Cindy Johnson is one of avid beaders who has just discovered paper beads, I am impressed at her enthusiasm and creativity when it comes to coming up with new ways to turn paper beads into wearable jewelry. Cindy works as a Registered Nurse at a local hospital and finds beading as a great stress reliever. In her own words:

” For the last 22 years of my life I have been an RN. For the last nine months I have been a beader. I find it a great way to relieve stress after a difficult shift and also a great way to express my creativity. My daughter Kate (12 yrs. old) has also gotten into beading and is getting really good.”

Here’s Cindy with beautiful chandelier earrings she made with small round paper beads.

A bird’s eye view

The chandelier earring finding she put together from jewelry bought at Dollar Tree for a dollar! I love it when looking stylish does not have to cost an arm and a leg.

She also made this necklace with blue paper bead tubes, Kate agreed to model for us. I wish I took a close up of it.

You must be wondering why I’m only showing one earring, for some reason the other pair got lost in Cindy’s huge bag. She was in a rush to finish Christmas shopping so we did not have the time to look for it.
