10 meter paper yarn

i must be crazy...lol...but coiling the paper made me looking for something easier and quicker.....like making paper yarn.it is an "ancient" method i knew already form my childhood when we actually coiled the corn shuck leaves into many shapes -must say much easier than doing it with my beloved paper-so if i calculated well i made up about 10 meter paper yarn.i did not made into a ball but as you see little circles were born and these are the "bodies" of my future necklaces and earrings (and fun ******* yet a secret,lol)
the technique is different form coiling the paper you don't need the straw like paper shapes you just tear the paper in stripes and twist it carefully not to tear it .it is hard to describe the steps it would be better a video show but no time for that.meanwhile you may found a good tutorial on youtube or blogs ...so as i am very familiar twisting the corn leaves into yarn it was my pleasure seeing the recycled paper yarn grow,hehe...you need a bit of practice for a smooth and equable yarn but it is not impossible :)

everything upcycled on this necklace but the mauve leather cord ;) i bought that.except the cord everything is rolled yarned twisted newspaper and ......sawdust!.more will come but first i want to strengthen with a glue mixture the obtained yarn circle.it is not as sturdy as the straw-coiled circles.

also finished this little house which stood enough under the bed and luckily was found a week ago!
bie bie see you next with 100 meter of paper yarn looooooooooooool

w.i.p. bowl and ready necklace

hello! first of all  Big thanks for my lately followers :) & a Big thanks++ for my earlier and earliests followers who still stands by me :)
no time for many words i just want to show you what i am working on when the alignment of planets allows me

all the bests and happy recycling!

finally some paper mache

my latest works in progress...a paper mache mirror commissioned work and some paper beads.i fancy them thanks to embracing tao so it was a must do :)

MImirrorRROR--- first i pasted the plastic edges of the mirror using masking tape and just put on a cardboard-no glue as i wanted to remove it later-then added my kind of teared pulp(teared newspaper and flour-water-salt mixture)-then i let it dry for two days.

later added some more of this kind of pulp and waited another two days to dry thoroughly.

the second image shows the dried pulp and already removed(after drying of course) cardboard back.

image three-the backside with the naked plastic mirror

and four- the same kind of pulp mixture covering entirely the mirror plus a buried hanger.

at this faze i added a better pulp(teared newspaper,soaked in water for a night,then mixed a bit with the blender-the binder agent was made of a mixture of water,flour and fluid pva glue after my eye)picture nr 5 shows the dried pulp featuring some little ornaments...

picture 6-the mirror hand sanded-just a bit-that's it for now...

the remained pulp was instant made into some chunky beads...

and some long forgotten rolled beads...not finished yet...

see you soon-i hope ;)

in ciuda

because the big birds right leg has broken again and it seems just paper won't fix it or i have to remake the whole leg -arrrrrgh-i continued to make beads.they are so tiny and i can see them finished in two days.more to come...
