It's really quite effective. Any kind of pretty paper will do. Rainbow Curl Earrings Make twisted curl rainbows using color film, resin and packing tape. The idea is to make your surface with the colour film, dome it with resin, let it cure until it is dry but still bendable half the time it takes to cure hard and then wrap the piece around a cylinder like a pencil and tape it down to hold it in place until it is fully cured.

This uses colour film from little-windows. One could also use pretty translucent paper.

In traditional lacemaking, threads are knotted or woven together to make patterns; beaded lace mimics those pat- terns. When I was younger, I loved making lace using traditional methods; my threads and beads coexisted happily together. As time passed, I became more interested in beadweaving: I had a sort of epiphany several years ago when I realized that a bead could stand in for a single knot of lace.

I quickly realized that many of my favorite beadweaving stitches resemble traditional lace stitches; from that moment on, I began applying things I had learned while making lace to designing my beadwork. Throughout the book you can count on Cynthia for wonderful instructions, illustrations to help with each step, explanations on how she translates lace into beadweaving stitches, and how you can take all you learn and launch into your own beaded lace designs.
