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!
Sp pretty! I say go for more! The centre can handle it , I think.

It's gorgeous already!! :) Would natural color pearls go well and kind of compliment the center??? Just thinking. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure it will be outstanding whatever you do!! : )
I think it would work with more beads, but not a great many. The pearls sound good interspersed with the beads.
ReplyDeleteYour work looks great!! And I love the thread colour!! A few more beads would look great.
