Click any image for a larger view. Wrought 20ga brass, glass feature bead held in place with 30 gauge wire.​

I plan on doing much, much more of this type of work, especially with heavier gauge brass. I want to try 18 and 16 gauge, and maybe some brass soldering rods.

paper bracelets

ok i got off my *** and got the camera so here you go! sorry if some of the pics are blurry

 

[snowqueen]

wow they are kewl, they remind me of pasta bracelets and papre bracelets we made in prep school

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i made em in like 10 mins plus its handy if you dont have any beads about!

 

[snowqueen]

so i forget do you just roll paper very tight and then what ?? i havent done it in years and my memorys going in old age lol (well 15 is old compared to a baby)

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

did u quill them emma?

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i supose you could quil them but since i didnt have the equiptment i just rolled the paper making sure there was a hole through the middle to string the elastic.

you can make them different widths and colours which i like since its versitile. plus if you cut the paper so that it tappers of to one end (gets thinner) and start rolling from the thick end it will create a different shape rather than the 'bead' being a tube.

Oh pet ur so clever hehe, I do like them, you could make so many different colours...oh the possibilities!

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

thank-you so much for the comments, fab...any constructive criticism?
here are two more pieces that I added, I like these quite a lot, although the second one is not something I would wear myself, the first one is (I have and got lots of compliments on it)

Im still a little sheepish about showing these, the second one is not finished yet. the edges on the ends need to be cleaned up, and a new fastening clasp is needed in the back. I will adjust the length on all of the ends, and have been thinking about adding some small black feathers for that extra little bit of cartoon-villain oomph that I was somehow going for

side note: the second is made out of flooring scraps!
