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.

Red Paper Bead Necklace with Gold Pearls and Garnet

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. 

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.
