Dusky Rose Organza Flower

Yes, I have a new flower to show.
It's a dusky pink that has stolen my heart.

I honestly didn't expect to like it so much but as soon as I had a bunch of petals together, I knew it was my new favourite!

This version has soft lilac tulle as well as a baby pink tulle that has holes so much bigger it might be a net.

These change the colour of the flower noticably, to a hue that's much more purple than if the organza was used on its own.

As for the leaves, they were an unexpected hit and now I'm having trouble trying something else....

Vintage red linen so crisp you'd like to work with it for ever.

The beads are a deep burgundy-brown and I think they've also fitted in nicely.

The back.

A clever pin back/ hair clip that allows you to wear it in so many ways.

Newest Fuschia Hair Clip - Brooch Listing

Latest in Fairytale Flower.

My Creative Space - Dark Chocolate

 After my prolonged red-pink phase and with the heat rising relentlessly, it was  about time to turn to some cooler colours.

Dark chocolate organza with a touch of mysterious black tulle

shimmering black sequins with sparks of green fire

and the brightest of grass green leaves.

A trio of different sizes.

They are particularly difficult to photograph.

My Creative Space - Orange and Rose

These are my latest organza flowers. 

A mix of rose and gold and orange organza which I was a bit doubtful of at first, but now it's won me over. I find it very feminine and chic.

I can imagine this in the impecably coiffed hair of a pin-up girl.

Lilac Headband-Sash-Choker - Take 2

Here's another take on the lilac sash/headband.

It's the same kind of flower as this one but with a different colour ribbon. A sweet mocha brown cotton ribbon that I think complements the lilac very well.

And there's the addition of a couple of my favourite tulle leaves, pristine white stiching on bridal white tulle.

Also listed in the shop.
