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!
Feel free to leave me a comment.
