Liberty British Colour Pattern is a book both visually brilliant and highly informative.It covers the history of Liberty of London from its beginning to the present with a multitide of illustrations as well as archival materials contained in pockets to take out, unfold and peruse.
The book is a treasure house of beauty, inspiration and information and a joy to leaf through.
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.
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.
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.
