The New Season is Here!

For my new piece in my Etsy shop I was inspired by the beautiful weather! Finally we see some sun, and I can see our rosebush starting to bloom. Hopefully it is the end of snow for us!

This lovely is set on a felt wired base. The colors and feel of the fabrics inspired me to make this headpiece. The silky netting is the perfect length to just covers one's eyes. Mysterious anyone??

Here you can see a close-up from the top-view- notice the three rosebuds!

The Week.

Apart from having a cold and my son having the chicken-pox I continued to move along!

One to my list, now I have a dress ( which I am awaiting fabric) , a men's hat, and a blouse to complete. The list never seems to get shorter, and that's a good thing because it means I continue to work!!

Dress Project

So I sent off the package to the UK! It not only contained the desired dress, but a matching bolero and matching headpiece! I hope she enjoys!!

Hat

I completed the black woolen women's hat with black veil!

I love creating such classic lovliess! I am so glad people still request them and wear them!!

A Little Sweetness

And since we are now into December and all the Christmas decorations around town are now up I was in the holiday mood.

Candy Striped Fascinator

Using a buckram wire based disk, I constructed this lovely fascinator / headpiece!

I had the feathers, the fabric, and the veiling! It was completed yesterday morning! More photos and purchasing can be found in my Etsy shop.

I am off to the workroom!!

Linen-Bamboo Hat Completed!

The hat is finally completed! It took me slightly longer than I anticipated, in between alterations, fittings, and a wedding, I am glad to say it is complete.

It is more of a couture headpiece, it is not an everyday hat for sure.

Working from my sketch I constructed a small top hat from buckram. It is covered in the linen fabric from the skirt I purchased. The linen was perfect to work with, I enjoyed working with the printed white and blue stripes on the fabric.

The tip of the hat is made of rows of bamboo stitched together.

Bamboo pieces are used as a small accent in the front of the headpiece. The top hat is attached to a buckram base which contains horsehair along the edge to attach to ones head.

The top hat is attached to the base at a slight tilt to the side. I also used the linen fabric between the base and top hat with an additional accent of bamboo.

It is perfect for a special occasion, worn at a slight tilt on the head!

Note: This lovely can be purchased in my Etsy shop! It can be yours if so desired!!

McQueen

Another of my favorite designers is Alexander McQueen. His unique visions continued to be amazing in his Autumn- Winter 2009-2010 in Paris. The collection contains blacks, whites, and reds, in all sorts of combinations.

This is one one my favorites, and wow, what a headpiece!

Gaultier couture 2009

Something else that caught my eye while viewing the Couture Summer Spring 2009 shows on Style.it, was Gaultier.

Amazing silhouettes. Super amazing headpieces!
