PaperArtsy Bead, Charms & Dangle Challenge

Hiya my lovelies!

I've gone paper bead mad!

In my last post about paper beads

I showed the paper beads I'd made for a swap.

Well, over at PaperArtsy  the theme for the challenge is beads, charms & dangles!

Perfect!

I first had to decorate the paper.

I used Fresco Finish paints in London bus, Hey Pesto & Pumpkin Soup.

 Derwent Inktense Blocks in various colours & some Copper acrylic paint.

Once dry I stamped it with the clockwork heart & the cogs stamp from

PaperArtsy Eclectica Darcy 02 set in Black Archival Ink.

I cut my strips out and made some tapered beads:

 

Some round beads:

Some tube beads:

Some smaller tube beads:

I then glazed some using PaperArtsy Metallic Glaze:

Some in  PaperArtsy Gloss Glaze:

Some in PaperArtsy Pearl Glaze:

I chose the beads I wanted to use & decided my dangle would be earrings.

Don't look too closely at my loops, they're the best I could do with my dodgy hand!

So here's my entry for the challenge!

Go on over & take a peek at the other entries here.

Cheers for stopping by!
