Shark Grey Flower Sneak Peek

Small handmade flower appliques in a dark, charcoal grey.

Black Flower Crown

While the black flowers on this flower crown seem to have a blue tinge, they're actually ink black with a hint of gold and bronze thrown in - and they are made from these black organza flowers.

Red Flower Appliques

Small handmade flowers in a bold, poppy red.

They have been left without any type of backing so that they can be used as appliques that can be attached to any sort of clothing, accessory or other diy project.

Magical Fairytale Butterfly Bobby Pins

Brand new butterfly bobby pins in a rich burnt orange.

I added two pairs of wings so that they seem to be in perpetual motion, even when there is no gentle breeze blowing to cause them to flutter.

The centre has a 'body' of beautiful irridescent glass beads that flash red, magenta and orange.

I attached these to silver-tone bobby pins but they are quite perfect for u shaped hair pins. So I'll try them in a pale yellow fabric next time and sew them onto gold-tone u hair pins to see how they turn out. 

You can find these here.

Woodland Pine Crown

 I've been making some gold hair wreaths in a somewhat festive mood.

I don't know which came first, the mood or the hair crowns, but I'm enjoying both...

Fairytale Flower Pine Cone Crown

They are the latest in a series of gold leaf crowns and hair clips, each with a different assortment of forest pines and/or berries.

(You may have seen this, this or this.)

FairytaleFlower Gilden Cone Wreath

I would love to see these being worn by bridesmaids in a woodland wedding.

No two of these are identical. Each one is unique. 

So each bridemaid would have her very own version of the same crown.

Fairytale Flower Woodland Crown

But I confess, I'd love to see them worn as a festive holiday headdress too...

Fall Orange

These are my latest flowers, in that glorious burnt orange of fall leaves that I think of as a 'Halloween orange'.

I couldn't resist the gold bead centre.

It just felt right.

 And I'll admit I just love these beads.

They're big and chunky and so wonderfully gold!

Easy-to-wear fall orange accessories.

Chrysanthemum Inspiration

My latest flowers are inspired by the lovely chrysanthemum. Their petals coil and curl in the most unruly way to create a seething harmony.

They weigh next to nothing but have magor visual impact and are an absolute favourite of mine. 

Each seperate flower is attached to a hair clip, the idea being that they can be worn on their own or bunched together to make a more striking headpiece.

The stylistic freedom they offer is immense as they come in various sizes and you can position them wherever and however you want to so that they take the shape you wish.

They were also a big hit with a couple of my Fairytale Flower brides who trusted my suggestion and ended up wearing these on their big day.

They loved them!

Golden Wood Nymph Hair Wreath

Lately I've been making hair wreaths.

 This is something very new and exciting for me as, even though they've been on my to-make list forever, I'd never attempted them before.

These hair wreaths are an all glitzy-and-glamorous gold admixture of leaves and pine cones which conjures up images of festivities and revels to me.

The pictures are admitedly not the best but I'm hoping that when I shoot them on a model they will reveal all their grecian godess potential.

(Anyone out there who would like to model this for me?)

But for now this is all you get and I'm hoping you can see them through my eyes....

If you look closely at the photos you can see that there's a hint of shabby-chic about the leaves -that I particularly like.  

Each wreath is unique and distinct. 

No two are identical.

I've posted one in Fairytale Flower already.
