Hot Pink & orange duo

This beautiful shot silk has been made to match a pink and orange linen jacket which has an appliqued pattered design, so I have repeated it in the silk.

It's so vibrant but works perfectly as an alternative to a hat or smaller headpiece.

I have to say the lady was ''tickled pink' with her headband and her husband will wear the brooch on his lapel.

Sparkle and shine

This began as an image in a clients head and then I had make that image real. NO pressure then.
I ordered the coloured beads and crystals and began to make a template of the main shape.
Little be little it started to look like my sketch.A small sigh of relief at this point.
I then had to thread and thread and thread all those tiny beads which were woven in and out of the frame.
It took me HOURS and Hours but when finished looked amazing.
Fitting it to the headband and keeping it secure was another thing all together, but after a few changes in design it worked.The band was covered in the spare material of the clients dress.
She was delighted with it and it looked fantastic on.
Think I'll leave beading projects alone for a couple of weeks.!!
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
