origami mobile



On a weekend in August, we went on a short road-trip and took walk on one of our favorite beaches on the south-coast. I found some really beautiful pieces of driftwood - two of them where just perfect for a origami-mobile I´ve been wanting to make for a long time now.

Material:
2 long pieces of wood (I used driftwood)
nylon-thread
glass beads
felted beads 
washi-tape
for the cranes: this tutorial on youtube

simple and pretty

The other day my oldest sister came back from a trip to Germany, with her bags filled with really nice necklaces she bought at a local market. Those necklaces are so simple, mostly made out of wooden beads in different sizes and colors - and SO beautiful! 
I felt really inspired and the day after I met my sister, I went straight to the next "Tiger"-shop, where they sell small bags with different kind of wooden beads and started making my own necklaces. 

I was so happy with the result, that I bought some more beads in different colors at "Tiger" and am  already fantasizing about making myself some more of those. I´d love to try dyeing my own beads with something like nail polish or maybe fabric-dye?

The first one

Nr. 2 - love those colors - this one makes me happy!

Nr. 3 - those are not wooden beads but really pretty anyway...

All three together
