I was really inspired by the idea of stitching on Japanese papers. I love spirals so this paper was a natural choice. I want to explore this idea further.
Sooooo pretty, Angela! Just enough beadwork to complement the paper.

Angela, what a great way to use your Japanese paper. I lived in Japan for three years and have collected some of that paper. I had used it for their festival dolls when I lived there, but wanted to do something else with what I brought home. Did you have to soften it in any way before beading? (moisture or crimping?) Lovely, Jude
Hi Jude I couldn't find an email for you so I am answering your question here. I hope you find it! I did not soften this paper in any way. Another project I am working on I did crumple the paper and stitched on it. That works wonderfully well too.
I feel like this has enough beading now. The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it. I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads. I am always learning!

I am on a scroll roll. This is the second one I started this week. I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces. I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours. These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would. That also feels good. Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
