I must apologise for the photo as it's not the best but this is the birthday present I made for my sister-in-law's 40th Birthday (forgot I hadn't blogged it).
I stuffed a dyed viscose ribbon and created ruching and knots at regular intervals.
I then cut dyed silk cocoons and hand stitched them together adding sequins and beads.
I attached these with silk thread and viola-the lightest necklace ever (seriously, I have made a lot of necklaces over the years and there is NO weight to these).
It is hard, fiddly work on the hands and takes several days to make but I do love these and have made about half a dozen (most of which I end up keeping as I love them SO much!!).
Happy crafting
Kyla
