Multicolor Handmade Bracelet with Recycled Paper Beads, "Storyteller"
Chunky beads in bright colors have a secret — they are crafted from recycled magazines and newspapers. Mindful of the environment, Akwele Suma creates an original bracelet that stretches to slip over the wrist.
The artist uses the paper at hand so paper colors will vary, making each design a unique example of handcrafted art. These beads receive a protective coat of clear nail polish.

"Beautiful workwomanship!"





Ordered these (orange) earrings because I was so pleased with blue earrings of the same style that Id purchased before. The paper that was used for the orange earrings has quite a bit of white on it and I wish they had been more orange. Workwomanship is excellent!
