Large Raven Black Flowers

 These are large black organza flowers I made for a special project.

There's eight of them - in the two different sizes shown in these pictures.

They're actually darker than the pictures show. They're jet black with no hint of blue at all. Both the organza used for the petals and the tulle are as black as night. 

The only relief from the darkness of the flower comes in the form of the gold stamens in the centre and and a hint of dark bronze organza in the mix to highlight the black and give the flower some depth and interest. Can you see it?

Large Burgundy and Black Flower Boutonierre

A large flower boutonniere in a moody mix of burgundy and black. 

It measures 2.5 inches or about 6.35 cm across.

It's a custom order, made to tie into a special wedding outfit. So it's one of a kind. 

 And it's making its way across the ocean as we speak.

Black Flower Brooch

This large black organza flower sash-turned-brooch was a custom order that I really enjoyed making. The ribbon is tied in a bow and then left long to trail down in a pretty cascade when worn.
