I make spiral ones all the time and to me they seem plain but never did I think to add patina . that makes all the difference. I adore that tassel. I have a stash of sari silk like yours with unfinished edges and little idea how to incorporate it. Now i have ideas, so glad you played along .Deb Fortinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100894645677484244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407878081989312685.post-79114730713883601362016-08-31T07:02:59.615-04:002016-08-31T07:02:59.615-04:00Oh my!

The hassle is so fun - Id hang it up. I mean that as a compliment. <br /><br />And the beaded plus metal piece. One of my desires of the last year or so is to integrate bead embroidery and metal.
