Brocade Ribbon Beads/Pendants

I am not sure whether to call these beaded brocade ribbon beads or pendants.

 They were made from the last of my vintage brocade sampler that I purchased in Paris in 2009.

The sampler would have been what a ribbon salesperson would show when they met with store owners.  The collection was gorgeous.  I made no eye contact with the price tag and simply pulled out my wallet.

 My planned project for the ribbon was this necklace.  I had a wonderful time beading each of the sampler colours.  That post is linked here.

 This time I had smaller leftover pieces to work with so I opted to showcase the flower as much as possible.  The beaded edges are just something I do when I watch television.

 The necklace hangs really nicely.

I can now say I used every bit of my vintage brocade ribbon purchase!
