RECYCLED PAPER PENDANTS - MORE PAPER FLOWERS

Before I tell you about my "Sleepless Night" creations, I decided to show more paper flowers. They are certainly not trying to compete with nature, but I am amazed what one can do with a simple (Pun intended) old magazine. 




Aren't they beautiful? Last year I found another use for the photos I took.  I bought 4x4 ceramic tiles, printed the photos and attached them with Mod Podge making coasters! What a perfect, original, inexpensive hostess gift! 

Wonders of technology allow me to use iPhone and iPad and some few Apps to take pictures, edit them and add text... 

Well, as I wrote on an earlier post, I had many sleepless nights after my surgery. One night I was especially lucid and it propelled me to roll many paper tubes; using matchboxes, and other shaping forms I created rather interesting paper pendants. I did not want to use metal chains to finish each necklace, I just took a matching color fabric. My dear and talented friend MarĂ­a del Carmen, attached a clasp to each of the necklaces. 




Still unfinished!


 I was surprised about the effect of the paper tube around the circle. 
And the beautiful design on the link. 

I was so stimulated by the creative process, I did not noticed how fast the sleepless night went by!

I am proud of my creations. You may notice how I used beads and one coil on a pendant. 

The blue one above, instead of fabric, has a matching color leather string.

My "Sleepless Night" collection is unique and very inexpensive, just $15.00 ea. 

More and more my creative inspiration comes from within. Thinking out of the box, allows your thoughts become free, a most exhilarating feeling

As soon as I finish my sculpture I will post it here! 
Thanks for reading my blog, if you live nearby feel free to come by and join me in the creative process.
