Beaded Hoop Earrings – day 212
One can never tire of wearing hoop earrings. You collect them in all size and shapes. The extra small paper beads are great for projects like this Beaded Hoop earrings. I was thinking of something that can go from day to night, so I added some sparkles to it.
Feel instantly glamorous !
Encased Set – day 211
You want your beads to be preserved forever? Showcase them in metal findings and set them with resin or diamond glaze. This way you can admire and your beads and it hides whatever flaws they may have. But then again, I always say that flaws give a piece character because nobody is perfect right?
Sprinkle 3mm swarovski crystals to give it a little sparkle.
Beaded Bead – day 210
This is one of those projects where I was not sure what the outcome would be. I was pleasantly surprised with the result! It very much resembles like a crown, don’t you think? The inner bead is also a paper bead and I beaded around it with tiny paper beads.
Befitting a Paper Bead Princess 🙂
Paper Cocoon Ornament – day 209
The paper cocoons that we make like the paper bead saucers have amazing colors, showing off beautifully the magazine patterns and coloration. Since Christmas is just around the corner I thought that they are great as Christmas Ornaments.
I will definitely hang some up on my Christmas tree this year 🙂
Mixed Media Links – day 208
Mixed Media is popular now a days; mixing paper, fabric, wood, plastic, metal, polymer clay, resin, glass or any found objects give your piece the one of a kind look. I love mixing any of these materials it gives freedom to imagination. Most importantly, found objects and other natural materials is what goes well with paper beads.
It is a wood bead covered with an old Merriam Webster’s Dictionary and wrapped with non tarnished gold wire.
It is something that you can incorporate with any of your creation, for example these vintage red beads…..
