Those of you who make your own costumes or who like to add layers or otherwise embellish your costumes, perhaps know the difficulty (in the cork market atleast) in getting good findings. You can all rejoice now:) On top of the loose coins and cowrie shell that we stock normally, we have added some exciting and unique findings to our range!
You can now buy borders, tassles, fringes, beaded ends etc by the metre or by the roll here at SOMA. We also have a very unique roll where there are pretty brass bells attached to a wave like pattern with bead embroidery. Its too cool and practically all made - all you need to do is work out how many meters of the stuff you need and then sew it on where you like it! the bells produce an almost perfect, rich sound, leaving you with no good reason to NOT buy it! The prices start from only € 3 / meter and vary depending on the style of work.
Just in for the holiday season, we have some really special pieces of jewellery for the dancers. They are elaborate, stunning and very visible - the best to create an effect. These are made by artisans in Peru and they use natural stones (lepidolite, onyx, etc) and mix metals to create the pieces. You can also accent the effect further by choosing some of the earrings to match.
I will be attaching some images of the findings some time soon, but let me know if you are interested and I will send the specific images by email.
