Etsy Front Page!

One of my absolute favourite flowers made it to the front page of Etsy today, in an amazing treasury curated by the girls behind one of my very favourite etsy shops: Pemberly Pond.

Thank you Lala and Louise!

Flamingo Pink Organza Flower Hair Clip by Fairytale Flower

So here is the flower that made it to the front page.

The bold flamingo pink of this flower is actually produced by a riotous mix of coral, red, tangerine, neon pink and fuchsia petals. 

The photo above has very accurately captured the colour.

Mother-Daughter Set of 2 Flamingo Pink Organza Flower Hair Clip - Corsages

While this photo above hasn't captured the colour well at all, it's great for showing the scale. These are pretty big flowers that can be worn as a corsage or a hair clip.

Here it is on the front page of Etsy.

Neon Padded Cell Phone Case -Project 1- Umbrella Prints Trimmings Competition

This is my first project for the Umbrella Prints Trimmings Competition.

It's a padded cell phone case and I'm so very pleased with it.

It's got  an elastic band to cinch the top for easy access to the phone. 

While the elastisized  opening won't let it fall out, you can very easily help it out with just a little squeeze.

The only thing is, I just can't get the colous to show as they are in real life.This is my second attempt and all I get from my photos are these washed out imitation colours of the brilliant neons you can see in the middle row here.

It's anyone has any tips for photographing neons that you'd like to share, I'd apprecaite the help.

(Side two -also a VERY bright, very pink neon!)
