Shark Grey Flower Sneak Peek

Red Flower Bangle

My newest floral bangle/bracelet with a large flower in the deep burgundy red satin fabric that I have come to love.

 This red hue is so rich and deep that the colour surprises me with it's intensity every time.

I sewed what seemed to me to be innumerable black lustrous glass beads in the middle of the flower to make a big black centre with a delicate shine.

It can be worn low on the wrist or higher up on the arm as a cuff.

If worn low on the wrist, it can fit the wrist exactly, so that it gently hugs the wrist and stays where you choose (but doesn't restrict the wrist or the circulation of blood) or in a larger size, as a bangle that moves around freely).

Just in time for Christmas!

Red Flower Accessories

I recently made these large red rose flowers and attached them to this very soft but sturdy black cotton ribbon. The durable, heavy-weight ribbon means that they can be tied and un-tied repeatedly without showing wear.

The flowers themselves measure about 10cm across but are very light-weight and easy to wear in a multitude of ways.

I can easily see them used in the more usual ways: tied around the waist as a sash or belt, tied around the head as a headband or tie-back, the wrist as a floral wrist corsage or even around an ankle for a more bohemian, free spirited look.

Another way of using these is tied around the handles of a bag like a bag charm or accessory. I do it all the time as it's an easy -and inexpensive- way to change a bag's look and brighten your mood in the process.

Another way I've seen them used is as a floral touch in home decor, wrapped around a vase or favourite object in the house. A flower accessory for the home.
I know I'd love to see these as nursery decor for a little girl! 
Perhaps tied around a bed post or chair.

Red Flowers For Secret Bunnies

Continuing with the overdue 'Bunny" posts, this was what I made for my 'Secret Bunny' this year and it happened to be Athena.

Athena has a little girl so I thought a mommy-daughter pair of red flower accessories might be a good idea.

The elastic bangle version was made for Athena. 

For the little one I added the same flowers on a ribbon that can be worn as a sash around her waist or tie-back ribbon in her hair.

And then I added a little flower brooch with the newest kind of flower I was making in the box too and packed it all up and sent it off to the girls.

I hope they like them and get to wear and enjoy them!

Organza Flower Earrings

Alora!

Gee, I love this photo!
It's taken by Suzie of First Blush Photography and just like all of her amazing photos, its clarity and light enthralls me.

The pretty little Miss in the picture is no less of an attraction....
And I'm very happy to say that the pretty Alora is wearing a Fairytale Flower ribbon headband that looks enchanting on her!

It's a flower headband that has three of these oh-so-delicate grey organza flowers, sewn onto a long organza ribbon which though ethereal and whispy-looking, is quite wide and very sturdy when tied onto the little one's head.

The same little flowers make easy-to-wear-anywhere bobby pins too.
