My Creative Space - Pale Grey

These are my very latest flowers. 

Though they are a very definite grey -or gray if you prefer- they look more pale blue in the pictures.

I've been meaning to make this smaller, simpler version of my flowers for a long time, but -it's been scientifically proven that- there's only so much one person can keep up with.....

I have an endless list of things I want to make, of versions of flowers that I have floating in my head.

Unfortunately, it's getting longer rather than shorter....

These flowers are specifically designed to be ultra light, so they can become bobby pins, but as you can see from the various findings displayed in the photos above and below, they can still be a number of things.

( Findings above: shoe clips, hair clip with attached pin/brooch , ring, bobby pin, baby hair clip, hair clip, brooch - pin back, extra large hair clip.)

I really like the lace in the centre and how it goes with the pearls.

And here are the finished bobby pins.

Barely There Champagne Organza Flower Bridal Sash

This is one of my newest organza flowers and one of my new favourites.

Bridal Sash / Headband by FairytaleFlower

The golden ivory colour of the organza is so delicate and ethereal, it makes the flower look luminous, like it's barely there.

FairytaleFlower bridal accessory

Which is why I added a ribbon in a fine, transluscent organza.

 It goes particularly well, I think.

The leaves are also my latest addiction. Bridal white tulle and very white thread.

Newest Silk Ruffle Cuff in Dark Champagne Shantung Silk

Here's my newest ruffle cuff and it's in a beautiful shantung silk -just like my last one. Only this one's a dark champagne gold that shimmers with the characteristic glow of this particular kind of silk.

It has a wide vintage cotton lace in antique white.

The edges are purposely left raw for a shabby chic feel.

I have finished cuffs off with stitched edges and  the result is quite nice, but usually they tend to look much stiffer, without the flow that these -untreated- ones have.

I suppose it's simply a matter of taste.

Or mood.

The ribbon that secures the cuff to the wrist is natural cotton in a darkish camel beige.

I have some more golden silks I want to try out in these cuffs.

And I'm looking forward to doing some black ones with black lace again, like this one.

Organza Flower Ring Pillow

Back when I showed you the extra large bridal flower I was making for a special overseas bride, I promised you photos of the matching ring pillow.
So here they are. Lots of them.

I really enjoyed making it so I can safely predict some more in the future.

Extra Large Bridal Hair Flower

Continuing with the whites, this is an extra large bridal hair clip.

An ivory/white mix organza flower for a lovely bride across the ocean.

It measures almost 20cm across. 

That would make it over 8inches.

But it's as light as air.

I know I say this every time, but it is my favourite to date.

It's like a fluffy white cloud -with sparkle!

Can you beat that?

I have a soft spot for brides and I especially love creating something for their wedding.

It makes we feel very honoured that I can participate like this in someone's special day.

I'm also making a ring pillow to match.

I'll be sharing photos soon.
