Freshly dyed batch of "Gold Dust" thread has been added to my Etsy shop!
My original designing for the yet unnamed challenging necklace project is still in progress. I found some high quality Amethyst stones at the local bead store and stitched a peyote bezel around them. After that, I dug out some Lizbeth and Flora threads in 2 shades of purple and began tatting around the larger stone. I think I'll incorporate the smaller stone closer to the neckline.
I did one 3D flower in hand dyed Hydrangea Dark. It turned out nicely enough that I'm considering doing a cluster of them in different shades. I don't know if I'll add any green for leaves or not. The addition of green would give the necklace a Mardi Gras color theme, and so far I like the "royal" look of the purple and gold on its own. But, we'll see. I'm just making it up as I go!

Everything looks fabulous!!! :) And the Amethyst piece looks stunning!!! :)
Looks splendid already. Gold and purple work well together. I like the gold dust thread.
Your amethyst pendant is gorgeous and so are the other pieces. While I love the colors, living in MN has ruined the combination for me. It makes me think of football...
Beautiful colour thread, love the golds
Thanks! I will probably add some teal or aqua to the purple and gold.
