Clarabelle – steampunk bonnet

September 18, 2017 By kym Leave a Comment

 

This lovely has been named Clarabelle.  It is a small bonnet style hat or fascinator that would add that finishing touch to any steampunk or Victorian inspired outfit.

The base is a cream coloured felt like material and the hat form has been accented with a vintage velvet flower with leaves, ribbon, braid, tulle, feathers, gears, watch hands and amber hued flat back crystals.  The bonnet attaches to ones hair with two sturdy and secure clips on the underside of the hat’s brim.

Tea and scones anyone?

Sugar Skull Headbands

September 18, 2017 By kym Leave a Comment

 

Sugar skulls figure prominently in my work….okay, skulls in general do.  In this case, Halloween stock at my local craft supply store yet again provided me with some amazing painted woodsies (yes, it is my own made up word) to use in the creation of headbands and fascinators.  This year they are in the form of sugar skulls.

 

The woodies have been placed as the focal point of each headband and further accented with flowers, flat backed crystals and pearls, tulle and feathers.  Each one is ooak and honour the colourful and festive nature of the sugar skull and its culture.  I chose to design these pieces on a headband base in order to make them comfortable to wear no matter what the wearer’s hair length or age.

 

How fun for Halloween, a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, a Day of the Dead celebration or for whenever!

Cyrene – Mermaid Crown

September 18, 2017 By kym Leave a Comment

 

Yes, you are seeing correctly.  Cyrene is a mermaid crown created by Bombshell Revival Designs using a variety of sizes, colours and shapes of seashells and pearls.  It was designed on and to be worn like a headband.

I have felt the pull to create a mermaid crown or headpiece for some time now and it was time!  I finally got it out of my system and am very pleased with the results.  Now, I am looking forward to seeing all the lovely sirens of the sea out there try it on!  I wonder which one will fall in love and just have to make it hers?

  • As promised, finished piece using trims and supplies posted yesterday.  Used more of that dreamy striped linen at hemline and sleeves and the precious last bit of some discontinued beaded trim as collar detailing and a headband for the skull.  Even though this top looks heavy, light as a wisp black cotton and breezy linen make it suitable for warmer weather too.  Still loving lace trim found @darrellthomastextiles, amazing to sew with and perfect for the feminine sleeves!

  • The right tools always make the task at hand easier! I finally purchased this sewing awl for myself.  Another treasure from the cabinet @darrellthomastextiles.  I was using an awl more suited for utility purposes (2nd photo) and while it worked, was not really appropriate for all applications and fabrics.  Better for leather and vinyls.  My new one has a finer point and provides more control.  I used it this morning to create holes in which to hammer together these rose embossed brasd button on the piece I am currently working on.  Soooo much better!
