Paper beads made from glossy catalog pages come up with the most interesting textures and colors. During the making of the beads they are all covered with the sealant/glue that creates the hard coating so it is not easy to see the color. When dry they begin to show.
These are roughly 6 mm oval beads worked into a simple one button design.
The infill cords are ecru and dark grey setting off the eclectic color of the beads.

This one is going in a special summer consignment at the
Walker Art Center shop. If you are in Minneapolis between June and August stop by and check out this and other work by Minnesota Artists.
