So's arts and crafts

Hello, This week, on Tuesday, I held my second paper craft workshop at Incubatorul 107 Timisoara  - we made paper beads. We used some of the free sheets of paper beads designed by ArtbyJean  (thanks for making them available), and some smaller paper triangles cut by me. Each participant made their own bracelets or necklaces...and every item was different from the others. Here are some pictures from the workshop, with the beads in various stages: Pictures:    Dragos Funaru-Ioan  For me, it was great to discover that everyone hat sooo much patience, and rolled the beads so nicely. An all of them had such great ideas when designing their jewelry. Thank you all for participating :)

Hello all, This weekend we have in Timisoara a festival called "Street Delivery". It takes place on the street, and hosts various activities...from dancing and music, to arts and handmade goods presentations. To celebrate this event, here are some paper beads I made, in the colors of summer. The patterned papers for the long beads, come from  Artby Jean . Here you will find a fabulous collection of cliparts.

Hello everyone, In one of my blog hops I discovered the paper beads made by Jean ,. Here’s what I’ve done using one of her free designs.  For this project I used plain printer paper, but I’m going to try using heavier paper too, just to see how the beads will look like. I also added some pink wood beads in order to vary the colors, shapes and sizes.  For the coating I used a glue and varnish 2 in 1 product in order to give the beads strength and a little bit of shine. I hope you like it! :) Here is a nice tutorial on paper beads:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x18dZaw1zU
