Remember the Paper Beads?

Paper Beads

I mentioned a while back I was making paper beads and it is just now that I am getting the time to finish them. I seriously can not wait until we move into our new place. Right now all my beads have been packed up because we were suppose to be moved already but now it will be in September. Not being able to wait until then to work with my beads I've slowing been unpacking them. I will have to repack them again but I can't live a whole month without my beads! So I thought I'd post a few pictures of the paper beads as they were being finished. I hand paint the finish on each one so they do take me a bit longer but I like the look of them with the hand painted finish. I've also been working on a project for some time that I hope to reveal here in the near future. Hopefully soon as Fall approaches and Summer ends as things slow down a bit. It is that project that has been taking me away in a different direction then my jewelry though now that it is taking form I will be getting back to more jewelry making too. 

My intention when I started this blog was to show my work in what ever form it took. That is still my intention and I hope everyone that reads my blog will continue reading and I can share more with all of you in the future.

Moving & more...

Time certainly flies...last time I posted it was June and here it is almost August. It has been a very busy summer. One of the things we are doing is moving. It seemed like it would be a simple thing yet it has turned into a lot of work and a summer long project. I can't wait until we are all settled and my bead table is again set up. As of this writing it is all in boxes and I am missing working on any type of project. Everything will be moved and in order by September so I probably won't be writing much until then. I do have some things in the works and a show to get ready for in October, which seems a way off but will be here before we know it.

I will be signing up for Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party. Sign up is August 1-3 and I am really looking forward to participating it's going to be so much fun! Click the button below to find out all about how to sign up for the Bead Soup Blog Party
