In an attempt to constantly update my skills esp WRT craft I do a lot of practice sessions. I experiment with known technique or material to create variations. Sometimes the end pieces come out good and find use immediately. Sometimes, even when they turn out fine, they get pushed to the back shelves because there is just no use for them. Like every other designer even I have my stack of such experimental pieces, stuff thats pretty/good in its own way and “can” be used in the future.
So I was going through one such stack and found a ribbon rosette, some old pearls strands, some dyed tigertail and bugle beads…God!! they have been lying useless for quite sometime now but still dint feel like throwing them out. I had seen a statement neck piece in Lavin which was made of similar items so I decided to experiment further and here’s the result. – Personal opinion looks better than the highly expensive Lavin.
Now I just need an occasion to show it off..and off course a dress to go with it 🙁
Cheers
