Large Raven Black Flowers

 These are large black organza flowers I made for a special project.

There's eight of them - in the two different sizes shown in these pictures.

They're actually darker than the pictures show. They're jet black with no hint of blue at all. Both the organza used for the petals and the tulle are as black as night. 

The only relief from the darkness of the flower comes in the form of the gold stamens in the centre and and a hint of dark bronze organza in the mix to highlight the black and give the flower some depth and interest. Can you see it?

Sweet Pink Flower Bobby Pin

Summer Hair Flowers

Summer hair flowers in a riotous mix of coral, red and pink. 

With a dash of gold in the centre.

These can be worn as either a brooch or a hair clip due to their nifty dual brooch/clip back.

They measure about 8 cm or 3.2 inches across and will be listed shortly in the shop.

Teal Tulle

I was going through some old photos when I came across these, of some long-gone teal tulle leaves. (In the picture above you can see them straight off the sewing machine and still attached to the tulle, before being cut out.)

I love making tulle leaves and I use them quite a bit when making my fabric flowers. But usually they're white or ivory, maybe silver, sometimes baby blue. 

 This particular shade is, perhaps, the boldest I've used in my tulle leaves.

Which is surprising, given my love of colour..... ( glaringly obvious in the pairing of said leaves with a flamboyant hot pink)

 I think I'll go get some of my bolder coloured tulle out and make some leaves, just for the fun of it...

Men's Boutonnieres

Men's flower lapel pins in whites and yellows.

It's been feeling so much like spring lately...

Black & White

A little black and white organza brooch with tulle leaves.

This is actually one I made a couple of years back for myself  and, surprisingly, I managed to keep it. I tend to give them away in the end, despite all my intentions of keeping them....

But, really, how many can you keep?

 I've still got this one.

I love how light and airy it is.

White Flower Hair Pins

Delicate white organza flowers on hair pins.

The thing I love about these hair pins is that you can scatter them over your hair or arrange them in a manner befitting your chosen hairstyle according to your mood. 

There are so many possiblities in the way you can wear them.

These were a custom order for a bride in France.

Violet And Blue

I made this violet and blue organza flower keyring the other day for a friend.

It's the very first thing I made in the new year! 

 The leaves are a beautiful, deep violet purple satin and the flower is a deep almost midnight blue organza. I couldn't photograph either true hue properly but you get the general idea of what it looks like. 

I love the violet-blue combination of flower and leaves and thankfully so does the receiver who  is already in possession of it.... 

I've actually made myself a couple of these flower keyrings (in other colour combinations) for the new year.

I'll try to remember to photograph them and share the pictures.....

The White Collection

In trying to show the different hues of my white flowers, I grouped some of my white flowers together, threw in some other, mostly white, objects for referrence and made a mini white collection. Then I took pictures.
