This is a little older piece.

A merchant (Herveus I think) had been given a reflective tape/thread by a manufacturer to see what people could do with it.  It was a vinyl ribbon with glass crystals of some sort embedded in it.  It looks grey under normal light, but shines much brighter under direct light.

I'm afraid I've forgotten what I used as the base fibre, but its probably mercerized cotton.  Its a simple threaded in diamond with the reflective tape laid on top as a brocade.

Truly stunning and what a great idea.  Reflective tape can be so helpful even in everyday items.  And that was spoken by a person who is legally blind, guess you see why I like it so much  : )
