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 [...]
Turquoise blue paper beads are accented with gold “stardust” beads in this necklace and bracelet set. The bicone beads used here are painted with a nice blue that reminds me of the ocean.
This is something that you can wear all year round, dress it up or dress it down.
Simple and beautiful!
