Some indie(an) tasselness!

Hello hello! So this time instead of posting an accessory that was made in summer, I decided to show something that I made a few days ago. Even though I still have loads of pictures from my summer accessory making madness ^^ This time it's an experiment - I was always drooling over those tassel+leather+feather necklaces that Taemin would wear (I seem to be obsessed with Taemin's necklaces, but he always wears cool ones...I made one before - here) or those I would see in various fashion websites. So I tried to make something similar for myself...Not sure if it worked out or not, but so far I like it. It's very hard to work with feathers, because there is literally no way how to make them stick to any material and stay there in a correct place.

I also used a golden spray for the ends of the tassels and some spiky turquoise beads to have more of a colourful accent. I'll try to make more items with those beads, but they're also hard to use because of the shape. But I love the colour ^^

These pictures , though, were taken using a direct flash, so the real colours are more visible in the close-up pictures in the end of the post!

Ever since I came back home I've been doing random things, but I'm slowly getting back to my productive self. I've realised that every single time I go away for a longer time and stop making things, it takes time to get back to the patient Ieva mode... Probably because when I come back I have so many ideas of things I want to make that I'm just jumping around indecisive of what to make first ^^ Anyway, enough blahblah-ing, let me know what you think about this! 

P.S. I've been stumbling accross some cool blogs recently and thinking that I might try to include more of my own findings and stories...even though I've decided not to put anything here that is not made by me. Not sure yet, but might change things next year. Let me know if you have any suggestions or you think something would be interesting to you!
