Taking Time, Blues and Candy Sweet

I'm slow even on working on beads right now. Here are my current pieces. They're watercolor painted on paper then cut and rolled. Unique and all one of a kind.

This set is a random cut set, an experiment. I didn't measure any of the pieces and am using 2 types of scrapbook paper. 

Now For Something Completely Different

OKay...not completely. It's still on a papercraft theme. I decided to see if it would be possible to do a bookmark using a similar technique to the paper beads. I can also try pendants like that later. I used Prismacolor indigo blue and Prismacolor watercolor in goldenrod to fast sketch a dragon doodle onto normal mixed media paper. I then coated it with Elmer's school gel glue. Right now it's drying. I'll add more coats and then coat in the triple thick when I'm done. The idea is to figure out where my hole punch went, and then add paper beads and regular beads in a tail to the bottom of the bookmark. I don't know if this will work out, however. It's an experiment.  This is all leading up to the large bust sculptures I have planned for "Dolls."

Little more work and fun

I find that the main task I can perform right now with my hands like they are is still making of beads. Here's my little area right now. I did locate some incredible magazine pages and scrapbook paper to get to work. I want to make the jewelry pieces soon as I can.

Here, I went all out and made a lot more of the little pegs to work on. The clay has now been baked to suit as holders for the pegs. It's a whole bead factory.

I'm in love with these beads. The scrapbook paper I used has an ombre effect. 

This is an experiment. I want to make pendants to go on necklaces. This is an attempt at a pendant.
