I hope this is in the right subforum... I wasn't quite sure where to post this.
Anyway I had posted somewhere else that I was thinking of trying some lolita beadwork.

I have recently become interested in beadwork. I am quite good at making complex jewelry.
But, I have a question: How to use beadwork to make something Lolita?
I know that pearls and charms are always good (like Angelic Pretty: example), but I was wondering if any of you had more ideas for beaded Lolita jewelry and accessories? And if any beads besides pearls could work?

Now, I have just completed a necklace...
I used regular black glass bugle beads for most of it. Some black glass seed beads.
And the purple beads are the oh-so-expensive swarovski crystals purchased at a specialty bead shop downtown. (though some craft stores carry them too) They're really quite beautiful when they catch the light.

My little sister modeled it for me - You can see her hands holding it on because I still need to find a second half for the clasp... Unfortunately it's not laying properly flat in this photo.
Does this look like it could be used for lolita at all? I know I have seen Classic lolitas wearing similar jewelry.
... Please tell me what you think.
