Searching for gold beads

I've been thinking about how I could fill the gaps between the woolly swirls. Gold beads would be nice. They would have to be fairly big so they don't get lost and sink too far down into the wool. 

So this afternoon I went to the Retail Park to search the shops. I checked The Range, two charity shops, Home Bargains, Dunelm,  and finally found what I wanted in Matalan. 

Two necklaces gave me enough gold beads. There was 25% off so they cost me £15 for the two. As soon as I have stitched all these in place then I can put the backing onto it. I have decided it will be mounted on a board covered with black fabric. Something like this. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
