Li-Chu Wu's Amazing Paper Jewelry Posted: 15 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST Paper, like plastic, is not the sort of material most artisans would choose to work with. Yet, many do and some like Li-Chu Wu create utterly amazing paper jewelry. Grassland Brooch Li Chu Wu is Taiwanese who is currently based in Birmingham, UK. The contemporary jewelry she creates  is incredibly intricate. The paper and metal pieces are a testament to her creativity, her attention to detail,  not to mention all sort of paper working skills combined with metal smithing techniques.  Ocean Necklace Her meticulous use of multiple layers in concentric patterns enables her to "create subtle movement and tactile qualities" in her work. Mountain Landscape Necklace No wonder her work has been published and exhibited in several countries! Blossom Pendant Flower Pendant (2011 Collection) Flower Ring (2011 Collection) Li-Chu also blogs and has a Facebook page. Hat tip to Ann Martin for this find!

Rose Trim Bracelet Uses Ribbon Clamps Posted: 14 Nov 2011 04:56 PM PST "How pretty!" was the first thing I thought when I saw Hannah's tutorial over at her blog, Rubies and Pearls.  She used a rose trim, the likes of which I have not seen before. The tutorial suits beginners who may not have come across ribbon clamps before.  These have teeth which hold on to ribbons, fabric strips and so on. There is a loop to add jump rings and thus clasps. Bracelets can be made in next to no time! Perfect for gifts or perhaps even for bridesmaids.
