Silk twists

Here are a couple of silk twists with veiling one with a beaded trim and quill the other with a feather and silk covered button.
This shape has proved to be very popular as it's easy to wear and has quite a presence.
There's a distinct 1940's flavour to the design but it can also be worn with a classical outfit.
It is worn on the left side on the face with the point ending just on the cheekbone.

Peacock

Peacock feather's are just so beautiful and I love to use them with a contrasting silk,this one is a double thread silk of peacock blue and red giving it a deep rich hue.

This piece sits to the right side of the head sloping down past the right eye.

The vintage button used to anchor the two pieces together is a soft pearl grey and very beautiful.

I have sewn the silk twists on to a headband so there are no worries about positioning, just pop on and go.!

Model Magic

Here is the very beautiful Grace who has been modeling for me today, so I now have a few more pictures for my new website.
A new web site seems a great idea then you realize how much work they take.!
However I am getting there as they say, so hopefully very soon I will be able to show off my new hats in all their glory.

TUES



Back to work lots to do also lots to fill out on the blog but cutting out is what I need to do today.
A nice piece of black velvet and some black dupion silk. It should look good when finished (the hat)
Bright beaded trim will do the trick.
LETS HOPE THE CLIENT THINKS SO TOO.
Finished photo to follow.
