Trialling out a bunch of paper earrings, made from Japanese washi paper. I still have ways to go, but I think I have made a good start.
I used predominantly green paper for this set. The biggest problem with making paper jewellery is dealing with the size of the modules. But while the going in difficult, the end result is very good.
Most of the designs are from Ayako Brodek's book on Origami Jewellery, a real keeper if you are inclined towards making such jewellery. The most useful part was the size details provided for each design.
I also tried out some traditional, simple designs such as the star and the wreath. The only problem with these designs was that I had to experiment quite a bit to arrive at the optimum size of paper.
All the earrings are made sturdy by glazing. And this also makes them water resistant.
