My Creative Space - Red Leather

My creative space is full of red leather leaves today.

I've had this wonderful piece of red leather for a while now, waiting for the right project to come along....

I started these last night, thinking to add them to a flower. 

But the leather is quite thick and heavy and I found the leaves way too pretty to be half hidden under the petals of the flower.

I settled on these colours for the veins, yellow, caramel and a deep, rich chestnut.

Maybe I'm -subconciously- getting ready for fall......

My Creative Space - Dark Chocolate

 After my prolonged red-pink phase and with the heat rising relentlessly, it was  about time to turn to some cooler colours.

Dark chocolate organza with a touch of mysterious black tulle

shimmering black sequins with sparks of green fire

and the brightest of grass green leaves.

A trio of different sizes.

They are particularly difficult to photograph.

Stelabird

The beautiful Stela of Stelabird blog was the winner of the  OnePerfectDay January give-away . 

Her prize arrived safely and here are the great pictures she posted. Just the brooch, and the brooch worn on her favourite mustard cardigan.

Love those polka dots!

Here is were you can read the post on Stela's blog.

Canvas Leaf Brooches/Pins - New Listings!

Yes, I finally listed the leaf brooches in the shop!

In a single leaf listing and in a listing with a set of three.

I still wear mine a lot. Two at a time usually, but sometimes three.

They've  frayed to perfection and I love how they look.

I'll have to remember to take some pictures of them to show.

My Creative Space - Golden Flowers

These are my latest organza flowers, and I'm really excited about them....

The deep golden colour of the flower is actualy the result of quite a few layers of different colours -in both organza and tulle.

The pairing of it with the black leaves and purple thread was just a happy accident.

Perhaps I was influenced by the Halloween frenzy going on around me...

In any case, I'll definately be making more of these.

Tickle Me Tuesdays - Approaching Fall

I know that Autumn is officially well and truly underway, but around here we're still in the last throes of summer. Only now that the air is chilling slightly but gradualy can we begin to think of the approaching cooler weather.

These are the images that are putting me in the mood for the season:

1.This perfect depiction of Snow White by PalePreoccupation.

2.This 'I Love Autumn In New York' print by Raceytay.

3.Aah! The Haute Couture issue by Paolo Roversi , September 2011 for Vogue Italia.

4.Another favourite photographer on etsy, TCapone and this perfect fallen leaf! I can't get over these colours and the crispness of the image.

5.A capelet in deep red burgundy.

Just what this season requires -by Threadrare.
