Golden Shimmer Flower Headband

My newest flowers are made with a pretty special fabric that shimmers and shines in a quiet riot of gold, black, bronze and brown.
To offset the glitz, they have a sombre -but lustrous- black bead centre.

And I've been making headbands with them.

I'm attaching them to antique bronze metalic headbands.

Some have one flower on them, some have two.

I've already given a couple away to two of the sweetest little girls!

And I have to say that I love the way they look worn.... 

Just right for the upcoming holiday season.

Lilac and Brown Flower Headband

This was a custom order for Jennifer. 

For her beautiful little girl, in fact, who is going to be a flower girl next week in a rustic country themed wedding. 

The colours we were working with were lilac, cream and brown and these are the resulting flowers.

I made a large flower headband and a smaller flower corsage by attaching the flowers to a plush cream-coloured cotton ribbon.

And these are the flowers before I attached them to the ribbons.
I liked them so much I may make one for my winter coat lapel.....

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.

Fairytale Flower DIY

Yes, I have been rather absent from this blog lately but I have not been idle....

The photo collage above is a sneak peek into a diy project I've been working on for Sew Mama Sew blog which I've enjoyed thoroughly and can't wait to share with you.

Come back later for a series of easy diy floral accessory tutorials: a floral crown, a flower wrist corsage and a flower headband.

My Creative Space - Radiant Orchid Flower Corsage

 I'm in the middle of an order for bridesmaids' corsages, so My Creative Space could be nothing else this week.

Bridesmaids' flower accessories in sweetest of purple shades fabric, vintage lace and pearls with tulle leaves and pretty satin ribbon.

Here's a heap of them, in various stages of completion.

And here's an example of one of them worn.

I love this colour.
Have you seen Pantone's colour of the year for 2014?
It's Radiant Orchid and it's the sweetest, most inspiring purple hue.
