Purple

'Ode To Purple'
If you know me you will know that purple is a favourite of mine,
and I'm drawn to using it a lot in my work.
I love purple and I enjoyed sifting through my stash of
purple fabrics, ribbons, buttons & beads to make this little sparkly tag

I used Two layers of purple cotton velvet a piece of distressed satin edged organza ribbon
This created some interesting areas to add beads and embroidery.
I made a cord for the tie from the Caron variegated embroidery thread
Tag: Cotton velvet
Embellishments: Organza ribbon, shell heart button,
glass seed beads, crystals, pearls, french knots and bullion knots.
Tie: Embroidery thread twisted cord.
