I Spy.......Bottega Veneta Spring 2013

Just loving the Bottega Veneta RTW collection for Spring 2013 .

Even though, at first glance it is a tad dark and sombre and far from the  efferverscence of springtime, look closely and you will see a riot of flowers and florals and a collection that is essentially an ode to spring -and femininity.

Bottega Veneta Spring 2013 RTW

 Ultra feminine and chic, this collection glances back at the past but is thoroughly modern in both cut and execution.

Did you notice the abscence of trousers in the selection?
Nope, there isn't a single pair of pants in the entire collection.

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.
