On this quiet evening, I'm working on one of those pieces that you are thrilled about the bottom line when it comes in the door, but not so thrilled when it comes to doing the actual work. It's a graduation piece. I've mounted two sets of honors' cords, sewn in place, look quite nice, hang naturally. I have two tassels placed in the frame. I've taken single strand silk thread which matches the color of the tassels and tied it to the metal medallion (2003) and glued the thread in place behind the tassels so it can never flip up or over. Something I've never tried, it's virtually invisible. Pretty cool.
Now my question.....does any one have any neat tricks for the tassel itself. I've used a mylar strip across the bottom to keep the strands from flying everywhere but I really don't like the look. Any other ideas???
