This beautiful piece of lace deserved to be shown off. The lace had openings woven into the pattern, so I threaded/wove a satin ribbon through the openings to help support the lace. Then I used my sewing machine to stitch the lace + ribbon to the fuchsia wired ribbon for support and color.
I gathered the ends together and enclosed the ribbon ends and the pendant inside the brass barrel bead.
This really turned out to be a really pretty piece...pink!!! and reminded me of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
As a Breast Cancer Survivor I can tell you the inconvenience/agony from yearly mammograms is NOTHING compared to the surgery/chemo/radiation/reconstruction of breast cancer....So from experience, I urge all ages of women:
1-Get those mammies grammed!!
2- Do regular self exams and get to your doctor if any changes.
3-Early detection is soooooo important but 99% curable if detected early.
4-Be very careful about using hormone replacement treatments for symptoms of menopause. These hormone replacements are chemical cocktails that often trigger breast cancer.
This necklace is my own "Think Pink" cancer survivor Medal...
