I would call this earrings “instant pick me up.” It frames your face beautifully and you can’t help but feel like a million bucks!  Button paper beads in blue jeans color is the main focal point of this hoop earrings.

Adding the hammered look to a piece makes it more “designer” looking, don’t you think?

Black Lace Crochet – day 193

Posted on Aug 13, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

Crocheted black wire has the look of black lace with its open spaces and flexibility of the 28 gauge wire makes it perfect for wire crochet.  The tiny paper beads are ideal for projects like bead crochet and crochet with wire, I even find it easier than seed beads.

This goes perfectly well with the crocheted carnelian earrings.

Crocheted With Carnelian Chips -day 192

Posted on Aug 13, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

Carnelian is one of my favorite gem stones most specially for the fall season because of the orange, gold and brown tones to it.  No gem stones is safe with me when it comes to mixing it with paper beads 🙂  I combined everything that I love in this piece: carnelian, crochet and paper beads.

This is one of my favorite necklace why?  It is feminine, I love the colors of pink and periwinkle blue together, it is something that 16-60 girls or women can wear.  The rosary loops make look delicate and dainty, something for the girly girl, like most of us:)

A Charmer Necklace – day 190

Posted on Aug 13, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I’m sure some of you are just into simple yet beautiful design like the Charmer Necklace.  I always gravitate towards chunky and bold pieces and yet there are times when you just want something small and delicate and wear it with shirt or white blouse.
