decorative trim necklace

most of the time it starts with one item

this time it was some beautiful black and gold trim that I received as a sample

at the CHA show in January

I met Larry and Lorine at the Decorative Trimmings booth

and was asked to pick something
 

 

the first thing I do is get a basket, I add the item and

whenever I come across something I think might work well with it

I add it to the basket, eventually something sparks and inspires me to start the project

I've had this beautiful sequin and beaded applique from John Bead and was excited

to finally get to make something with it

together they look stunning
