Washi paper Creations for the creativity expo

Remember my post on the Creativity expo by Wholeport to inform you that they were giving away packets of crafting goodies, in return for images of finished products for their Facebook album? Well they have kept up their side of the bargain by sending all participants their choice of goodies and images have started to flood their facebook page. There are loads of lovely work…take a peek at my Washi paper Creations below….

The first comprises of a spoon pendant and  origami earrings and is called a “spoonful of flowers” jewelry set (tutorial coming soon !!). The second is a half and half bangle made from wrapping strips of paper on a wooden base and then glazing it. It has two different patterns of Japanese origami paper. 

 The third is a bracelet and earring set made from a combination of leather and paper. The papers were too flimsy to be rolled as a bead so I thought of using a base. The result is a sturdy, shiny piece that can be worn for long. The look is inspired by the Tibetan Prayer wheels or Khor I saw during my trip to Nepal. 

I have used beads that have Buddha’s image on them and antique spacers to give the effect. The piece is called Mani Khor (a circle of beads) and is the Tibetan name for prayer wheels with beads.

So those were my Washi paper Creations often combined with leather. How do you like them? I’ll soon post a tutorial for the spoonful of flowers necklace

Cheers
