Artistic Beads by Viki Banaszak

Cut a paper bag into triangular strips that are 1 inch on the end and 7 inches in length. Stamp each paper with the words “Montage” and “Pure” from  Innovative Stamp Creations with Ancient Page ink, Sienna and Indigo. Make sure to get the edges, since that will be what will show. Dab a tiny bit of gold paint onto the very edges of the beads or use a dry brush.

Start rolling the widest edge around a toothpick and attach the tail with a daub of white glue. Melt some clear ultra thick embossing powder (UTEE) in a hot pot by Suze Weinberg. Attach a bead on a toothpick and dip one end into the melted UTEE, then transfer the bead to a second tooth pick and dip the other end. Let cool.  Use a pin to ensure the ends are not closed up from the UTEE.

String the beads using nylon thread and wooden beads from an old necklace, altered with gold and brown silver lined beads.
