I put this mess together the other day:
So, I have plans for it ... plans that I don't know will work or not, but I'll let you know the outcome!I've had a bit of a run with paper beads ... made some bracelets. Actually made quite a few but here are three, not tied off yet (well, actually they are, but not in the photo), but I really like how they came out. The turquoise one is my favorite, and I was surprised how much I liked the one that used just black and white text. Now there's something else I need to keep!!!
Since blogger decided to load all my photos in reverse, here are some of the beads I made. They are 1/2", which is a good width for bracelets.
And here are the magazine pages. It's so interesting to see what they look like all rolled up. In general, the more colors across the page, the more interesting the beads are (ads seem to work well), but I do think the sailboat photo turned out nice (upper left in the above photo) and of course I love the turquoise.
Fun times!

What a great idea!! The turquoise beads are yummy!! And I really like that shade of blue from the sail boat pic.
Those ARE awesome. Love them all - but particularly the "wordy" ones. That would make a great present for an English teacher - a bracelet or necklace made out of pages of Shakespear, or Homer, or Bronte.
Still waiting on husband letting me know if he can pick up or take Sabrina one day this week so I can go off to the Museum.
