    Have you ever crushed velvet?  It’s pretty fun.  Take some velvet and accordion fold it. Spray some water on it.  Iron over the folds.  Voilà!  There it is.

  14. Beads from India I came across at a shop that sells vintage objects.  They are rough and large (around 2” x 3” and larger).  I’m really loving them.
