This beaded tassel is an elaboration on Margery Williams' design; I added the collar at the top. The core of the tassel, enclosed in a net of seed beads, is a piece of needlepoint canvas rolled up and wrapped in a narrow, ribbon-like fiber. The beads are a rich combination of silver-lined gold 11/0 seed beads, size three bugle beads, and size 5 bugle beads, along with cranberry 11/0 seed beads and 6 and 8 mm faceted aurora borealis red glass beads.
