Three Red Beads: Fusion Bead Challenge

Friday, January 21, 2011

This year has started out to be super busy. I haven't made it out to the blog much, though I am looking forward to being here more in the future. On to the challenge...

Thank you again Lorelei this has been another really fun challenge!

The necklace I made I used the Owl clasp from Green Girl Studios. I added some ribbon along with the green leather cord and ran that through the beads I create. The beads I make are embellished paper beads (hopefully I will be posting more on these in the future.) As in the other challenges I used seed beads, one of my favorite beads to work with and I also added a few wooden beads.

Thanks so much for the comments! I've been tossing around the idea of trying to sell my paper beads.

Very lovely. The way you worked in the ribbon and fiber is just wonderful. :) Very earthy and comfortable looking necklace.

Holy sexy paper beads! Love them! And your design? I wish I had done that. LOVE IT! ;o)

I love this combination, paper and ribbon, a warm, earthy feel, yet soft. Very nice!

I really love the paper beads, a surprising addition. Thank you for reminding me I have instructions on how to do those passed down from my grandmother. Must give it a go.
The ribbon is a pretty colour and they look so good together, good choice. Jenni

Beautiful! Your paper beads add such a nice soft touch!

Your paper beads add the perfect touch to the other components, and you tied everything together (pun not intended -- hah!) so nicely by weaving the ribbon and leather through them. What a unique design!

Such a great use of many elements, lovely design.
