Ribbon Necklace

I created this ribbon necklace utilizing braiding. I love the look of the ribbon interacting with it's self. I had the idea for the bead groups to hang individually from the ribbon. I like the groupings, I like the idea. I am not sure the end result is exactly what I have in mind. The colors are great and neutral enough to work with a variety of outfits.

Materials used were from Artbeads:
Vintage Bead Mix - Purple   VIN-MX02

3/8-Inch Organza Ribbon-Lavender by the Foot  R38-LAVDR

3/8-Inch Organza Ribbon-Silver by the Foot   R38-SILVR
