All That Glitters

Since I saw the gold chiyogami papers, I've wanted to make these. :D

Oh those are so beautiful; I really love deep, rich colors.
This is probably a dull concept, but would it be possible to make this jewelry in balls in lieu of hearts? I'd love to purchase some for myself, but I tend to wear conservative jewelry/clothes due to my profession (and age, lol), so hearts or peacocks or the other wonderful oragami you do wouldn't be appropriate, as amazing as it is.
If not, I might just purchase something already 'in stock' and add some fun and color to my wardrobe.

oh its not a dull concept, I purchased a paper bead roller, so I can try some different shapes, and I might work on that this weekend.

These are gorgeous.

Would it be possible to specify a chiyogami pattern (but I know it's hard to match the pattern exactly) and have a single-piece necklace made with it?

I'll look forward to seeing some different shapes, too! :D

sure you can specify a pattern, when you say single piece, do you mean one large heart shaped bead, or beads made of the same colour?

the nice thing about a large bead, both sides are display-worthy.

Do you want necklace to come with chain or cord or supply your own? What length of chain or cord?

Oh, I meant one large heart-shaped bead in a necklace. ^^
I'm looking at maybe 3 or 4 (all necklaces, single bead) I'm interested in, so I'll have to think about it a bit more and let you know.

How much extra would a chain or cord be? Are they at all adjustable in terms of length once they get to me? Because I'm not sure what length I really want yet, perhaps depends on the outfit of the day, you know? :3

Cost depends on what you want. Some things under $5, some more. I can always see what is available in shop or mail order and let you know. I can look for things that can be adjustable.

Oh, sounds awesome! If you find any, let me know. :3

Right now, I'm thinking I want some with a chain and others with a cord. ^^
