If one is good, but leaves something to be desired - maybe it could use a little help from its friends? Sure. This is the glassy version of a tassel… it’s called a “glassel”.. : ) Three distinct components - non stand-alones… paired up to create a showstopper. Often larger beads are clunky - and I worry about the sheer heaviness… this one has two hinged joints that allow for it to move… and allow its wearer to fiddle with it… I like that.

I have fallen into the abyss of shaping these past six months or so - and love how the photograph above shows the perfection of a sleek unwavering line on the black tassel… The decorated barrel needed some punctuation - and I think by pulling the blues out on top and emphasizing the black in such a dramatic way - I achieved this.

Update tonight at 9pm Eastern, right here on my website… : )
