Making the jewelry is a multi-step process. First, I choose the paper that I'd like to work with. I have a large supply of paper created all over the world. Many of them are handmade, stencil-dyed or silk screened. I cut the basic shape and apply several layers of a very thick shiny glaze. Each layer of glaze needs time to dry in between coats. I drill holes in the new "beads" and then, create each piece. I use all sterling silver or gold-filled findings as well as glass accent beads for extra sparkle!
