Textile materials create unique designs

Being in the textile industry for many years I've had the good fortune to be able to collect many different types of fabric. I am always looking and collecting different textile materials. I wanted to create designs using variety of these textures. So I shaped green organza into the shape of pedals and layered them, onto a pad of cotton. In the middle of the pedals I placed an oval shaped black cotton with rhinestones and my handmade lace motifs with a cranberry colored diamond cut crystal... Connected these piece on a velvet ribbon...And the ends of the ribbon are embellished with the same black cotton with rhinestones...
You'll be able to wrap around your rest several times with this elegant velvet ribbon.
It seems to have quite a Victorian look
I hope you enjoy this gorgeous design...

Recently I've been crocheting hearts and I would like to share this pattern with you.I believe this can be use in many different places....For example for your Valentines gift wrap, scrapbooking, birthday cards. This crochet heart can be used for all occasions..
This is the pattern:
