OnePerfectDay: hair wreath

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...

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.)

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.

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

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.
