MOP Frame – day 54
I did one in dyed round mother of pearl necklace, this time natural white color of the MOP show’s off the magazine colors of the tube paper beads well.
The tube paper beads is the very basic shape and very simple to do and yet can be pretty mixed with other gem stones and beads.
A pair of gold earrings would complete this look.
In The Midst Of Gems – day 53
I found a strand of semi precious stones in one of my bead shopping Sundays that was very inexpensive, it was on sale for $4.00. The strand was about 16 inches and just perfect back drop for tiny magazine colored paper beads.
Paper beads, lava beads, carnelian, jasper, rose quartz…..
The paper beads just made it more special, don’t you think?
Mish Mashed – day 52
What happens when you just randomly put things together, I mean without thinking about design, really!
Paper beads, wood beads, resin and coconut chips…..
…..make a yummy, chunky bracelet!
Framed! – day 51
I just love working with brass components because it is almost like tarnish free and it’s not gold or silver and no one can real ask you or wonder is that real? The bead frames is great to show case your paper bead or any kind of bead really.
This piece has tiger’s eye bead frames and crystals.
Long necklaces are so versatile and so easy, instantly dresses up a plain outfit. I’m sure this will look layered as well.
Painted Buds – day 50
We had some leftover findings from the brass earrings purchased at the dollar store from previous projects….
So many cones enough for jewelry set and then some.
Small round paper beads were painted with nail polish.
I love how this turned out…..
