This is to be used in a happy day. A joy to make it, and a joy to wear it. Hand-made silk-screened cotton paper, rolled into beautiful beads accompanied by Czech crystals, gold pearls, and garnet stones that make the pearls look like flower centers. Longer than usual, and just beautiful.
Art is an activity capable of transforming reality. Art in itself is revolutionary, because it can scape the commercial system. These are my designs. I use any material that I can transform into jewels. I like to use ordinary materials like paper, wood, leather, glass, ceramic, clay. I like to combine those materials into beautiful jewels. Art creation is a liberating exercise, and something that makes us more human.

The Joy of Creative Work
This is a version of another necklace made with the same blue and golden paper than the previous one, but with smaller round beads, and lavender glass. I love the nice length that can be worn over a sweater, or a dress, or simply over whatever you like to highlight with this design.
I included a brass clasp with a purple motif on it, to make it more elegant
Elegant rolled bead necklace.
The love of creative work
This necklace is so elegant that a is already taken by a good friend of mine. I just wanted to show the detail of the work. It made me very proud to see the results of the thicker beads, they look gorgeous and ready to roll.
I heard that a jewel is not only something made of gold or precious stones, but also an object
that has been made with great dedication and love. I would say that this necklace was made with those two ingredients, beside the fresh water pearls, the copper bead caps, the czech crystals, and of course my precious hand-rolled beads, made with cotton silk-screened hand-made paper. See the beautiful results of the work and dedication to this jewel, and judge for yourself.
