"If you took all the thread I've used,
to make all the things I have made,
and laid them end to end....
you'd get really tangled up!!"
I recently decided to take my small fabric scraps leftover from making larger items and make decorative tassels for home decor to use as door charms, drawer pulls, lamp switch pulls, window jewelry, curtain tassels or any where you want a little bit of gypsy swag.

I've added lots of vintage elements including faux pearls and beads, laces and Czech crystals. Many of the fabrics are silks and satins which have been manipulated to create curls and waves. The tassel shown below is made with silks, lace, and cottons in beige, white, and a touch of moss green raw silk and swirls of metallic gold cording. It's topped with vintage metallic gold trim sewn in place and embellished with small faux pearls. The gold trim and moss green raw silk was salvaged from a vintage theater costume Renaissance dress (which was damaged).

The image below is of my dusty pink, beaded fiber art tassel, made with vintage silk fabric scraps. The beading includes vintage faux pearls, amber fire polish vintage crystals, aurora borealis crystals, and various smaller beads. The topper is a combination of vintage glass faux pearls which have been stripped of their polish because they were damaged, and newer faux pearls which are still polished. The stripped pearls are made of a lovely, slightly translucent milk glass. The beading is strung on brown waxed linen thread.

Next is a favorite color combination of Fae People, Nature Lovers, and Gypsies... vintage silk fabric scraps in purple and green color palette, with iridescent green seed beads, vintage faux pearls, crystals, and buttons.
