In Shades Of Pink – day 172
If you are a pink girl, you will love the Shades Of Pink necklace. Light shades of rhodocrosite beads with streak of white is accented with round paper beads and cone beads in deeper shades of pink.
The light shade of pink reminds of the cameo shell. The paper beads makes it more special!
Paper Cone Bead Caps – day 171
I must admit, I have not done a lot of things using the paper bead cones although they are so unique and versatile. The cone shape makes it great as bead caps as it can hold many strands. Here is my old time favorite of twisting strands of paper beads on wire, held together by paper cones.
It just add that special touch! Don’t you think?
Paper Gems Necklace – day 170
I love imitating real gems with paper because they are not only fun they are instant conversation pieces! Great for first wedding anniversary (paper is the appropriate first wedding anniversary)! The Petite Violets Necklace is for the romantic in you 🙂
Eco Beads Pendant – day 169
I have a new source for beads and I am happy to share them with you. Did you know that Jewelry Television (JTV) does not just sell finished high end jewelry pieces but also carries beads, tools and findings for jewelry making? Not only they are equipped with supplies they have tutorials and experts that can take you from beginner beader to intermediate. From browsing through their tons of beads I have discovered their Eco Beads, hand crafted beads from nature made of fully recyclable and renewable materials. This beautiful focal bead is from them!
The decorative wood I used with the brown painted double bicone paper beads is just the perfect accent for this beautiful piece!
Green Agate Going Green – day 168
The Green Agate And Green Beads is just another version of the Red Jasper Necklace. This is a big piece and it is not for the faint of heart but also my favorite piece! JTV’s Jewel School has several different stick beads including hematite. The moss green agate is pretty too, they are just perfect for paper beads.
Going green in Casual Chic Fashion 🙂
