surprise cups

i've surprised myself.i thought i will bore you with my beads again but instead i've just finished something my sun has begun.of course he get bored quickly after a few sticked paper on a balloon and especially when he noticed his hands stuffed with paste glue mess he run away rapidly to wash them so i remained to finish "the dog" as we supposed it to be but when dried i cut it for fun and so were formed the cups bowl.the rest was easy but i've get stuffed again at the painting part.finally i made something acceptable as you see and i'm somehow contented about the result.they are waiting for the final seal and the big cup will have some extra buttons.
i can't deny that i was inspired from at least two papier mache artists i've found recently.they are great and i loved their kettles -it was in my mind to try one but i didn't expected to be so soon-
Kesem Hamama and Carol W.i was also affected of other pm amateurs works especially those who passionately waste colors.here a few picture showing the same couple in different stages of their existence.

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...



modele noi care se asorteaza foarte bine cu orice culoare,desigur va trebui sa mai cresc armata de bilute ca sa am din ce sa le potrivesc in colier.acum doar astea au mai ramas din "colectie"dar hartia s-a inmuiat deja ;)va mai sta ,azi n-am chef de mixare,voi reface citeva bilute nereusite si gata.o zi buna!

hartie reciclata sub diferite forme

i've decided to quit for a while with this bead mania...i have a lot of unfinished staffs i'm bored to look at as they stare at me from every corner of our room leaved months even one year ago...i guess i'm the type of person who can hardly finish a job and always dive in something new...
but how can i quit beads when i always run out of pulp or have to wait broken legs,wings or remodelling shapes ,staffs to dry i'm not contented with?see how decided i am?
the good thing is that i do everything i'm making with love so it's a pleasant time to spend. i also pay to much time according to my family digging up other people's amazing creatures,paintings,techniques.this are other "everyday news" i need...at least 30 minutes.
here are some necklaces i've made last week




and two of my birds getting finished i hope this or the following week...


i can't wait to see them painted!it will be a difficult job for me!

i tried the handmade paper recipe-thank you Joanna
and see the result -this is only a sample

i only could have a gauze for this purpose but you can find beautiful patterns on Joanna's site.

bracelets and necklace

i 've made recently two bracelets.i like them but i know i have to improve my rolling technic. this ones are made of paper painted or better scratched by me while painting paper beads as i used on them dried brush and had to wipe of the surplus of paint.then i liked the color combination so i cut it and rolled in beads as you see.
the red bracelet didn't turned on as i wanted because the vivid red and contrasting black were hidden in the middle of the rolled paper so i remained with their washy ends.next time i will be careful.


the rest of the shots are made for fun.i was playing with this colored bead army and believe me they followed my orders duteously.

again beads

it seems this fever doesn't cools up just with cold water...anyway it's better than watching tv.it relaxes me and fills up the time when i run out of paper paste or wait for staffs drying .i've moved up with tiny steps on my bird and a new screaming chicken.
