I really should not start anything new, BUT (Thats a big but huh?) I could not resist after a few ideas popt into my head, what else to do with beads and sequins. On my to do list are now a late 1880s Mantelet, a early 1890s Cape/collar thingy and a 1900s velvet cape. Still drawing the embroidery designs.
These are the tassels which go to the back of the 1880s Mantelet.....
.....and here is the fringe for the 1890s Collar
