Uber Patchwork Skirts


I make custom skirts. After a few commissions


and some people asking , I've decided to sell 20 yd and 30 yd custom skirts. Here is a pictures of my work. The yellow/orange skirt (Autumn Whispered to Caitlin) was a 20 yd commissioned skirt







 and the other is my 30 yd skirt.

Baby Bellydancer on Board!


Tribal Tassels has a new dancer! Baby MacKenzie was born on Halloween to her very proud parents, Chris & Patti!

Our life has been filled with many new changes over the past year. I have been away from all aspects of dance for a long time, but hope to soon be dancing again and adding lots of new things to Tribal Tassels. I am looking forward to introducing MacKenzie to the sisterhood of dance!

flowers!

We tribal girls love flowers.

We also love metal.

Me, I love chainmaille. Sometimes.

Put them together, add in a big dash of my hating scale maille bras, and what do we have?

Scale maille flowers, by the dozen! They're light, they won't rust, they don't tarnish, and they go just about everywhere!

Flowers for your fingers . . .



Flowers for your wrists . . .



Flowers for your ears . . .



And of course, flowers for your hair. There's the full-on kanzashi-style forks . . .





The double-flowered hair sticks . . .



And for the poor people who kept coming up to me and saying, "But my hair's short! What can I do?" there's the ridiculously sturdy (and ridiculously cute) scale maille flower barrettes.





From here? God knows what I'm gonna turn out. :D But if you're curious, keep an eye on acaseofrandom.etsy.com. Hopefully the flowery handflowers will be next.

HeadBands, Headpieces and Stuff












I've been working on the Tunisian Headbands for the longest time. I just never got to putting stuff on them. I had some left over fabric and I'm making a few headpieces too. Just like my crochet belts -I make them when I feel like it.

Go ahead and check out the new items including used jewelry for sale.


I'm also working on new skirts and you can see a preview of 6 of them on
