Bridal White Flower Wrist Corsage

These white organza flower and white tulle leaf corsages were part of a custom order of bridesmaids and flower girl corsages. 
The almost luminous peach centre is a combination of translucent beads and iridescent sequins.

Overcast

This is what today looked like. 

Overcast and a bit melancholy, as if contemplating the end of summer.

Feathers and Crystals Flower Headpiece

This veiled headpiece was a recent custom order for an August bride. 

The stark white flower has crystals in the centre, ranging from clear to silver. The headpiece also has handmade tulle leaves, immaculate white feathers and white Russian veil. The picture hardly does it justice. 

The bride, I'm happy to say, loved it!

Summer Wildflowers

Cherry Red Flower Mini Pouch Necklace

This little pouch pendant is one of a series made with natural cotton canvas and deep cherry red embellishments.

I love this combination of colours and I love the contrast of the 'plain' cotton canvas with the rich satin of the flower and the dupioni silk of the narrow bow.

I made these little pendants with the intention of having the little pouch to carry a keepsake or good luck charm with you at all times.

I'd actually also like these attached to a plain clothespin. To pin onto a jacket or top.

Sandy Beaches

Summer just wouldn't be summer without a sandy beach getaway.

Country Road

There's nothing like driving down winding country roads on a hot summer day! 

The distinct smell of the greek countryside which is a unique mix of native herbs, shrubs, greenery, hot earth and dry grass is as intoxicating as the scenery.

Miniature Bag in Red and White

Handmade miniature bag in natural cotton canvas with red flower and pom pom details.

A whimsical little handbag for a doll's outfit or for a little girl to play with.

It measures about 8 cm or 3 inches across - that's counting the floral and ribbon embellishments.

Mini Shantung Silk Pouch Pendant

These little silk pouches are destined to become pendants in a series of textile necklaces that I'm working on. They're made from shantung silk which is an absolute favourite fabric of mine to work with and this particular one is a shade of subtly shimmering gold which I adore! 
They're already in various stages of embellishment.

Large White Organza Hair Clip

Made with delicate, slightly off-white organza, bridal white tulle and gently shimmering golden glass beads in the centre, this flower hair clip was a custom order for a June bride. 

It's quite large as it measures about 10cm across but, despite its size, it's as light as a feather.

Coral Summer Earrings

There's been a flurry of creative activity in these parts lately and I've been making all sorts of things, including bags, pouches, necklaces and earrings.

These are the coral organza earrings I made the other day and I have already given them to a friend. The colour is so very bright and cheery and just perfect for summer.

 Now I want to make some blue and yellow ones....
