Making beads

 

I have been making beads lately, lots of beads

These ones are made of rolled strips of watercolor paper

 

When the glue is dry, I finish the spiral with a kind of gypsum,

the stuff to repair tiny cracks in walls...

then they get sanded with very fine sanding paper

 

 

all kind of stuff that has been waiting in my studio is being used in this process

 

The travel themed stickers are from a booklet I once bought in the USA

 

 

 

Right now I finished almost fourty beads, still 10 to go. 

And I can wear my travel necklace!

 

Thanks for visiting!
