It is finished!
To continue where I left off, I added a row of beads to the scalloped edging like so...
These were applied using a loop of 6 beads, then sewn down to the veil at the midpoint of the loop (3 on either side).
For the edge with the flower motifs, I did not want to do the same treatment because it made it look very bulky (and quite ugly I thought). So I just added single beads spaced about 3 mm apart from each other. This gives it a more delicate appearance while still providing some glam.
And here's the transition at the two edges
And that empty space in the between the flowers which looked like this before
now looks like this
Basically the original sequins saved from unusable cut out motifs were stoppered with single beads.
I wish I could show what the overall effect looks like when worn over the head (quite lovely if I do say so myself :]) but sadly, I have neither a proper mannequin head nor suitably willing live models in my house!
Hopefully I will be able to get proper pics from the bride herself when she comes to collect next week (assuming she likes what I've done with it :P)!

ReplyDeleteI will see you soon Dal!
I enjoyed reading this part of the story, especially the details about making the veil. The step-by-step focus makes the creative process easy to follow, and it’s interesting to see how much care goes into preparing a special handmade piece. Posts like this are a nice reminder that patience and attention to detail can make a big difference in creative projects. Students working on research-based coursework may also find useful for organizing ideas and improving their academic writing.
