Swirls Of Colors -day 27
Browns, greens, red and other earth colors swirls around these bangles made up of tube paper beads mixed with glass with the different color of the cane glass showing through. It looks like what I call “organized chaos” because once you put it on it just looks good together.
It also reminds me of licorice
Here it is worn with the vintage red bangle 🙂
Today, Kayla and I will be setting up our booth at the CHA, couldn’t wait to share with you how it will look like, we have a bigger booth this time! Hooray for paper beads!

If you’re like me you get your inspiration from your surroundings, what you see in magazines or even television and the internet of course has tons of ideas. Today’s project was inspired by snow capped mountains that greet me each morning as I make my coffee. I love snow as long as you only see it from a distance like this photo. I edited it to pick out what color should the back ground be and here is what it look like:
I painted an already made round paper beads with cobalt blue and as best as I could drew like a scalloped or wave design in white paint to make it look like snow. I know, I did poorly on this one, I wanted to show you anyway so you get the idea of WHAT NOT TO DO! 🙂
I then strung it on elastic with small round chevron beads or glass beads and made matching earrings.
I love the serene view of snow capped mountains and appreciates the fact that I don’t have to experience blizzards and freezing temperatures.
Christmas Paper Beads
The red and green colors of these paper beads makes them perfect for Christmas jewelry. Kayla added some gold tone beads to complete the Holiday look. Today also I hosted a Christmas party for friends and colleagues and lots of yummy Filipino food, but it’s the dessert that takes the cake 🙂
Kayla and I donned on our Santa hats so we can properly greet you Happy Holidays! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends.
I know it’s hard to see but Kayla and I are both wearing paper bead earrings in this picture. Here’s a close up on the bracelet set.
The necklace and earrings set are on sale on my etsy for $5.00 for the set! Just a reminder to get ahead in your shopping for next year. This will be just as beautiful today and 5 years from now.

Imagine World Peace
It is fun watching colorful magazine pages turn into beads that are vibrant and saturated in colors. You don’t even have to sit there and agonize over which color would go well with each other, you put them together and somehow all the colors just blend and look like they belong……
The black rhodium plated eye pins used in connecting them, brought out the colors of the small round beads.
The bottle cap pendant makes this set casual yet feminine
Worn together? Fabulous!
