All That Glitters!!!

This block is from a beaded RR and is especially hard to photograph because it not only has shiny gold fabrics, it is covered with gold beads, sequins, trims, etc. All the seams are bead embroidery. It actually does glitter...

I used a gold bias suede to trim it with and added gold cording on the inside of the trim. I am especially happy with the tassels with loops and buttons. They fit the piece and are absolutely perfect for hanging the piece with some pearl-headed pins if necessary.. I will be making tassels for all the blocks. See below for steps in this process.....
