I'm now at 514 pieces of embellishment (rhinestones, studs, beads) on this baby, not counting the rhinestone trim. Moving on to the front!

Ancient Necklace with Mosaic Glass Beads, from the Eastern Mediterranean, c.100 BCE-100 CE: this necklace is composed of 30 glass beads, most of which are decorated with stylized faces
Tumblr media
From the John Paul Getty Museum:
The beads are made of multi-colored opaque glass and are decorated with heads and floral designs. The necklace is in good condition; some beads are chipped or cracked.
Tumblr media
The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was likely made by a Greek or Roman artist.
Tumblr media
Each bead has a width of about 1.2cm (roughly half an inch); they're decorated with remarkably intricate details, and each face is depicted in its own unique style.

I have, quite seriously, made entire costumes in the length of time it took me to make this single fucking bow.
I'm not sure if it was worth the hours and destruction of my finger (thimbles are for the weak but regrettably my skin is weak too) but it is quite pretty, I guess.
the piece of lace for this was about eighty inches long. It matches the beading on the same trim used around the underbust.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this lace is made to be inset and has margins on either side that I used as seam allowance. it was sewn to a strip of faille with the right sides facing each other.
the faille was interfaced with strips cut to the width of the lace, so it would not extend into the seam allowance.
the edges were trimmed down with pinking sheers, then it was turned right side out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I sewed sequins onto each edge first, one in each little "box" on the trim? I'm not sure how many there are but if you ask my fingers they would say way too many.
the beading was done next, I did this after because they are bulkier and the thread is more likely to catch on them if I sewed them on before the sequins.
this is a mix of pearls and glass beads, once again following the lace pattern to ensure even spacing.
I sewed the beads on with heavy-duty upholstery thread since they will be prone to snagging and I don't want any to fall off.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I spent like an hour trying to figure out how to make this bow look good. when I was finally happy with it I used pliers to crush all the glass beads in the center so it would be less bulky.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the center is a little piece of trim from my stash. I was originally going to use more of this on the project but then I just did a bunch of hand beading instead.
and there you go, a bow. this will go over the actual closure which will probably be twill tape tied in a far less attractive but more functional bow.
