Black and Gold Paper Earrings

Rolled black paper beads, lacked to protect them against water. 

Paper Necklace

With picture jasper stones, Czech crystals, and round red coral beads. 

This is a long necklace and hangs beautifully

This is the main part of the necklace

Red Paper Clip Earrings

Hand made with cotton paper. 

Paper Earrings with Copper wire





Paper Earrings

Those multi-color earrings came out beautifully from the cotton paper. They have copper wire, and metal findings. 

Paper Bead Cip Earrings

Generally, artists do not think about those who do not want to use pierce earrings, or that do not have pierced ears. This is pair of earrings made of silk-screened cotton paper, and varnished for resistance to water. I enjoyed making them.

Daily News Necklace

Got news? For the news fanatic

Made with columns from the NYT, pink quartz, pink freshwater pearls, and  tiny Czech beads.
This is certainly a conversation piece. 
For those days when nothing really gets accomplished, I take any material into my hands
and try to turn it into art. So far, it was worked out. I guess the best condition of the human being is creation! 

This is how the necklace looks like complete. I experience so much joy when a piece is completed, I feel 
a great sense of accomplishment.

Collar de hilo de cobre con cuentas de papel reciclado (Joyas de Papel)

En lo que puede convertirse un viejo catálogo. En cuentas coloridas para este collar adornado con pequeñas cuentas de vidrio en color cobre, y con un broche de cobre también. 





Las cuentas se enrollan individualmente y se sellan con un barniz de base de agua. Los materiales son reciclados en su mayor parte. 

Beautiful Unfinished Paper Beads


This past few days I have been rolling beautiful cotton paper, the thrill about doing this
is that you know how the paper looks like, but you do not know how the beads will turn out. 
It is always very exciting to see nice beads coming from beautifully decorated paper.
