Earrings Make Over
Janice Mae Earrings Make Over
Another day turning ordinary to extraordinary! See how I turn store bought earrings into a one-of-a kind, totally wearable pair or earrings!
If you want to try your hand at making your own, beads, tools, and supplies can be purchased at any of these online shops:
A Necklace For a Good Cause
This necklace was made with beads handcrafted just for me! This is not any ordinary paper bead necklace, the beads are made from a photograph of an island in the Philippines called Camiguin Solitaire. Each bead is hand rolled and glazed with non toxic substance to last a lifetime! Special thanks to Dee for the wonderful paper beads.
All the proceeds of this Necklace will go to a fund I’m saving up for to buy Christmas goody bags for impoverished Filipino children. If you are interested in supporting this endeavor, stop by my Ebay page to place a bid.
It’ a win-win…you add a beautiful piece of jewelry to your collection AND help brighten a child’s day!
Auction ends July 15th
Read MorePrayerful Beads #317
I’d like to talk about beads that incorporate prayers into them. I call these prayerful beads because they are not just any ordinary bead, there is a story behind this. A prayer or a bible verse is written on cotton paper, layered on top of recycled magazine strip and rolled into a bead. The simple act of rolling the bead and praying for someone you don’t know or reading the bible verse somehow connects you to that person. The collective prayers releases forces that somehow joins our good intentions for another human being with God Almighty and in turn he will pour out His grace and blessings where it is needed.
This Tasseled Prayerful Bracelet is auctioned on my Ebay store all of the profit goes to Charity that supports ending hunger, because nobody should go hungry! There so much to love about the organic feel of this bracelet, but not only that, it represents 3 things that holds meanings:
Beads – means tears
Tassels – rays of hope
Fish – is the symbol for Christianity
I hope you enjoyed this post today, if you are a do it yourself(er) I can get you started with a paper bead making kit here.
