Good News, Bad News

There's good news and bad news.

Good news: I finished the tassel on my miser's purse!



Bad news: The rings I ordered are much too big. I tried cutting one down and ruined it. (It turns out the raised decoration is only tack welded at the ends.)

Good news: I have thread and beads for a pineapple bag!

AMAZING tassel. I love that!

But urk! about the rings. I remember Katherine had a lot of trouble finding the right rings, too. :(

Thanks. I had hoped that her struggles would save me some experimentation, but it looks like I'll be trying a couple of options too.

The tassel is beautiful! I love how the strands twirl around themselves.

Cording is one of those things that just looks cool when you make it. This is the first time I've done it with beads, and the beads make it harder to tie off but even cooler looking!
