Beads, Wire, and Dowels

I took another great class at the Stamp Art Shoppe. We made the necklace you see to the left. You wrap colored wire around 20 gauge wire to make the colorful twisty wire + beads. I was immediately taken with the twisted wire look. The long beads with the music around it are small dowels cut in 2" pieces and then covered with paper. I am going to use some of my old papers to make my own beads of this type. Below the photo you can see my journal entry with a drawing of the necklace that I made. I plan to use the two ideas in other ways. I have already used them on pins and gift wrapping. I am sure I can come up with some other ideas.
