Paper Beads by Melanie

I wish I didn't have to work. I just want to stay home and make things with beads, wire and clay.

I've now moved on to #collages and painting with #watercolors and #acrylics.

I've never taken an art class but owe thanks and inspiration to many online.
Well, silly me didn't know 4 photos is the limit on each post. So, here's 4 more #collages.

I've been very busy these past few months and would like to share my efforts. My art and family are what keep me sane. Painting will be in my next post.

Sometimes, you just need bright colors.

I made some pretty unique necklaces with paper, polymer and glass beads. Started trying out wire wrapping too.

And then for a while, I just needed to stitch.

This is how it all got started. I started making paper beads and that was enough. I just made more and more beads. Then I started to string them into necklaces with glass beads. That was in 2020. #paperbeads
