Princess Necklace – day 166
I love the idea of being the Paper Bead Princess! Which means that I can promote paper beads and get to inspire other like minded individuals to try making them. Diamonds and pearls are fine, but I also want to show the world that paper bead jewelry can be elegant and long lasting as well. I am always drawn to making jewelry out of found objects must be the kid in me. Here is one example of found objects with paper bead charm accents.
What are they? The letter J and crown charms are from juicy couture perfume bottle. It was just the perfect charms for me as the self proclaimed Paper Bead Princess don’t you think?
The Style Of Steam Punk
Paper beads steam punk style? Why not? After all, paper beads date back to the Victorian era, certainly something those ladies are familiar with. I got this big, old rusty key from the Pasadena Show last year and just got the chance to do something with it. Extra small round beads and tube paper beads complete the look of this steam punk pendant.
My daughters get the Free People catalog and I’m the one excited, I love looking at their jewelry. I imagine the pretty young ladies looking like nymphs walking around the woods and picking up anything of interest and just breathed life into these pieces.
I consider this pretty tamed in terms of found objects made into jewelry. One day, I would just like to try and use real found objects and make it into an interesting piece. Hmmm… I wonder if I will have time to do another swap, this time, we exchange found objects.
