How These Beaded Branches Turned Out

You've seen these sneak-peeks of work in progress using wax tape. How I realized that the warmth of my hands is melting the wax turning the tape softer and flexible. That I used tiny glass beads and vintage leaves from Czechoslovakia. It is very different than I've made so far. Now I can show you the result of this journey.

Small bouquet of glass-beaded branches and glass leaves...

Siiamaani olen näidanud uusi katsetusi vahatatud teibiga. Kuidas ma avastasin, et mu enda käte soojus muudab vaha, millega paberteip on töödeldud, pehmeks ja elastseks. Et ma kasutasin klaashelmeid ja vintage klaasist lehekesi Tšehhoslovakkiast. See on väga erinev sellest, mida siiamaani teinud. Ja nüüd saan näidata ühte tulemust sellel retkel.
