Recycle Week Chunky Jewellery
Even with all the talk of what a littering nation we are, I hadn’t realised that we’re in the middle of Recycle Week. What a great opportunity to talk about some of the recycled jewellery I’ve found recently, besides Emma Northcott’s creations from plastic bags and inner tubes.

Chunky paper jewellery
Recently a friend and I had a go at making papier mache beads. We thought we’d model them on my favourite glass necklace.
We spent long, therapeutic hours moulding and smoothing the shapes then after a week’s drying we carefully pierced each one with a knitting needle. They were quite beautiful in that state, so full of promise, then we painted them and whatever we tried they looked terrible. My friend returned to her other artwork and I set up this website instead.
That’s why I was so amazed (and envious) when I came across these paper beads made by Phiona Richards who calls herself a “paper artist”.
