First off the bracelet/necklace I took the lovely clay oak leaf added two toning lampwork beads I had and threaded them on the red and gold sari ribbon, it can be tied at any length and looks interesting I think one could even add a few more beads to it! I originally made this one for the bead soup but thought you might like to see it too.
The necklace, is green sari ribbon but has a tiny gold thread running through it, I had no idea what to make with it and tried several combinations out not good at all, then I remembered a strand of large pale gold graduated beads that look like wood or seeds they are amazing they threaded onto the ribbon and stay in place without knotting you just tie a bow where you want at the side and are ready to go, simple but I think very effective!

Very interesting pieces! Very simple and elegant. Nice job:-)))
Very nicely done! Love the large pearly beads with the Sari ribbon!
You are absolutely right -- simple but effective. Sometimes less is truly more and it certainly is in this case. I especially like the leaf necklace!
Hey there, thanks so much for joining the hop, I am SO GLAD you did! Your designs are so wearable, I like them both but I think I like the one w the pearls best....I'm into pearls, always have been!

I like how you let the ribbon be what it is and it contrasts with those big pearlie beads so well.
Very nice job!
Very original pieces!! TFS

It was my first experience with sari ribbon too. I love the colors but it's a challenge! Good job.

I really like the piece with the leaf because I think the texture of the ribbon matches the texture of the leaf. It just makes me think about those wrinkled, crunchy (but vibrant) piles of leaves.
I'm particularly fond of the leaf!
Lovely bold and modern pieces! I like!
Very simple designs that have a lovely punch!
Good work! really done nice job..
