Iris Tuft Tassel

  • 5 July 2011

Have you noticed all the tassels? From tassel belts to tassel earrings. Tassel shoes and tassel bags. Tassel hats and tassel phone decorations. And this time of year: graduation tassels.

Well, tassels are, of course, nothing new and throughout their dangling history tiny to robust tassels were universally used as a finishing feature in fabric decoration and symbols of standing in religious order and nobility and military ranks.

My iris leaf tassel has nothing to do with either fabric or status: it is meant to be pretty for as long as it lasts.

What a great alternative to a graduation corsage or boutonniere
