It's finished!

elaborate

adjective |iˈlab(ə)rit| involving many carefully arranged parts or details; detailed and complicated in design and planning.This is definitely the most elaborate piece I have ever made!   It makes me think of a cuff that a Persian Princess might have worn in a tale from “The Arabian Nights”.  Or perhaps, a mermaid, given the abundance of pearls and sea-themed embellishments that adorn it.   I’m very pleased with it and can’t wait to start a second cuff - I have another “Cosmic Cabochon” ready to go.  Now for the fun of selecting the embellishments and beads to go with it and then merrily stitching away!
