I actually think it's dratted allergies already that slowed me down the last couple days. Hence .... today is day two of a mega headache

Sitting quietly watching TV - I'm getting the hang of making paper beads.


This time I used Mod Podge although by the time I was done I was covered in the stuff. It gives the beads a glossy look and the edges attach better.

It is a little tricky to wrap them so they come out same size. I need to try lighter weight paper.

I also ordered these prepared pendants [20 Clever Delights Round Pendant Trays - Antique Bronze Color - 25mm 1" Diameter - Pendant Blanks Cameo Bezel Cabochon Settings - 25 mm 1 Inch]. They are 1 inch in diameter which is a bit small & I forgot to order the glass cabochons that fit. I could use resin but the pendants aren't that deep. I plan to print my Ensos, cut to size and put the glass cab to seal it. Although... the Mod Podge might do. hmmmm think the glass cab would look better.


cut up one of my older biz cards to show how the Enso would look... these pendants are very sturdy.

Thinking about etching - wonder if I can use the seal I sign my Sumi-e work with to stamp onto the copper. hmmm might be too hard = worth a shot. Still need to purchase a fresh Sharpie to draw directly onto the copper.

I'm making forward progress on my jewelry goals - Keep Arting!
