The Story Behind the Art:

These unique paper beads are made in Kisumu, Kenya by talented artisans who upcycle discarded magazines and papers, transforming them into functional and stylish jewelry and accessories. The papers are torn and then rolled to form the beads. Once complete, the paper beads are sealed in many coats of glossy, water-based varnish. Because of the wide variety of recycled paper goods used, the handmade beads can come in all sizes, shapes, colors and patterns - truly speaking to the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece.
