Color Of Jade And Jasper-day 14

Posted on Jan 14, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I always go for big and bold jewelry even before I have discovered paper beads.  I love mixing them with real stones because that even makes it more special.  It took me awhile to find the right stone to go with this big bicone paper beads that has the color of jade, soft green and the darker green that forms a band in the center.  I have always admired the caramel color of the jasper stones and the smoothness of it.  I opted for a simpler style.

Little spacers in between would also have been nice.

It is something you can wear with jeans or with a blazer to work.  I love how you can dress it up or dress it down.

Bicone Paper Beads

Posted on Sep 16, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 4 comments

When two cones are joined together it forms a bicone shape bead.   This is a very common shape in crystals specially swarovskis.  These bicone shaped paper beads are two inches long, looking exactly like two cones joined together.  This will be a part of our jewel tone collection, just in time for the Holidays!

We are having another Paper Bead Trade – The Color Of Fall you can sign up by emailing me your address on the Contact Us link.  I think there is about 10 people already signed up, I have not set a limit yet, maybe 25 ?  I’m not sure how you would like to do it this time, do you propose to send your beads to me like before?  Are we making bracelets or necklaces?  I think it would be nice to make one thing, something we can wear for Thanks Giving.
