For the September 2024 Makers and Shakers Art Party I shared my techniques for making mixed media beads using non-traditional jewelry materials - paper beads, wire beads, fabric beads, and painted beads. Of course, my go-to materials for all of these (other than the wire beads) is vinyl tubing, which I buy for pennies at the hardware store,,,or I salvage from medical tubing, when I can find it.
Eleven participants worked diligently and made a whole lot of beads! It was great fun.
