Mixed Media beading is the combination of traditional beading techniques, combined with those materials found in other types of crafts, and even some materials one might never consider for art or for art jewelry. These items include paper ephemera, buttons, playing cards, inks, dyes, rubber stamping, decoupage, embossing, craft metal and just about anything you can think of.
