Another Embellished Rope Begun...

I was bad. I finished another spiral rope base this morning in between everything else that I was supposed to be doing. I couldn't help it - I had to empty the bag of beads that I plan to use to embellish it out alongside of it...













But now I have myself wondering: should I even embellish this rope? Should I just hang a pendant off of it and leave it as is? The colors in the rope are so bold and crazy - metallic gold core with silver lined jewel toned beads in between black for the accents - that maybe accenting the rope even MORE with the crazy assortment of glass beads would just be too much.

Seizure-inducing necklace, anyone?
