MOP Brooch Progress

Shabby Vintage Bridal
Good morning, dear readers!
 
I finally got the foundation found on the Mother-of-Pearl brooch to work out to my satisfaction!
 
 
I am using Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk in S9 "Herb Garden" with silver-lined forest green Ornella seed beads for accents.  Future possible accents are what I'm debating on now.  I have some gorgeous Swarovski crystals and also some beautiful dyed green freshwater pearls.  My mom said she doesn't care what I use.  "Just make it pretty," was my only instruction from her.  So, what do you think?  Should I just use the seed beads or should I add another type of accent?  My only concern is that I do not want the accents to compete with the beauty of the brooch itself.
 
Well, I have towels to get out on the clothesline and lots of tatting to do.  Have a wonderful day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!

  3. I think it would work with more beads, but not a great many. The pearls sound good interspersed with the beads.
