Paper Bead Cuffs-day 284
I went crazy making these cuffs! In one of my stroll around youtube’s creative lane, I stopped by sarame2001’s youtube channel. She was making cuff bracelets from 16 gauge wire. The video is in Spanish, but you don’t need to speak Spanish to follow what she was doing. Anyway, here is my version of it.
I made quite a few….
Zooviewtiful Necklace – day 283
Have I told you about my new Jewelry line? Zooviewtiful Jewelry! What are they? The beads are cut and rolled from the L.A. Zoo Magazine, published quarterly by the L.A. Zoo. Portion of sales goes to the L.A. Zoo. This Zooviewtiful Necklace is just perfect for animal lovers out there. Here it is up close and personal:)
Watch for more Zooviewtiful jewelry pieces, they are not only Eco, they’re fun and definitely wearable!
Angel Earrings Set – day 282
Christmas is around the corner, and then we get busy making ornaments, angels, stars, Christmas trees…..so here’s simple angel earrings I did.
The paper cocoons are great for keeping little trinkets such as this.
Happy Bead – day 281
So happy to be debuting the “I choose to be happy today” paper beads on Jewelry Television. I would like to invite everyone to tune in or watch us live on your pc, on September 20th (Thursday) beginning 10 a.m. Easter time. The kit includes 3 bundles of paper in coral red, mint green and sunny yellow in 3 different sizes. The special paper is printed with the words “I choose……” in Carnival fonts.
We are often told that Happiness is a choice, but sometimes if not oftentimes, we need a little reminder that no matter what the outside circumstances are, it is entirely up to you to choose happiness:)
It is an instant pick me up for me when I put these necklaces on.
This blingy charm bracelet puts a smile to my face as they dangle and jangle on my wrist. After all bling is a girl’s best friend. What do you think?
Collaged Paper Beads-day 280
You don’t always have the perfect magazine page to make paper beads with, the colors and words are not positioned where you want them to be. Collaged sheets would kind of solve that problem. Just take any magazine, cut out the colors, pictures and words that you like and strategically place them on your paper. Here’s how I did mine……
The finished sheet came out really colorful!
Lined……cut……….rolled into beads!
True magazine colors!
