Twinkle Twinkle Colors of Summer

I don't know if this counts.  You can see lavender, grey sides and plum if you look real close.  Hope this is ok to submit.  


Nope I don't think so.

Back to the drawing board.

Stacked Paper Recycled Paper Pendant Necklace


I made this pendant by using recycled scrapbook paper.  It's stacked and hardened with glue.  Then it's ground down to expose layers of paper and then sanded till it's smooth.  It receives 4 coast of sealer.  

This particular stacked paper pendant is wired wrapped and have a wire bale.






The back is finished and sealed also.  The coordinated paper beads continue around the necklace with black rondel beads in between.

Believe it or not!  These next beads are made with dried potato.

More Paper Rolled Beads

I've made so many beads, I've had to open an Ebay store called Myauctionattic so please check it out.  I pretty much have my beads, jewelry, and coasters up for bidding.  I'm not doing to badly but wish I could sell more so I can make room for more.  Living in a 40' motor home doesn't allow me to store very much.

Scrapbook paper

magazine pages

this is a bracelet and can be worn as a necklace

Paper Beads! Can't stop Making Them


Well, we can't complain about the rain here in Maple Valley, WA since we had only one day of rain all winter in El Centro.  It's a good excuse to stay home and drink hot tea and snuggle up with a good book.  Normally.

But I"m not normal.  I've been making paper beads for the last few days and listed a few on Ebay.  See HERE and scroll down a bit.

They are addicting!  I can't stop making them.  I'm making some pendants, too.
