flowers and feathers

in the spirit of making things and then thinking about them, these are a couple little things i've made recently.


lily taught me this new flower technique. it's  more mod than the others and it's not trying so hard to look real. we saw a girl who made these and clipped them to a little pair of shiny heals


Last night Jean and Allison made all kinds of fancy feather barrettes and headbands.  they created some very cute hair pieces out of peacock feathers, polka dot feathers, jewels and pearls.  they were kind enough to share supplies with me. I made the bigger barrette from some of the peacock feathers and green polka dot feathers and the little on a bobby pin out of grey and yellow polka dot feathers.

this is my attempt at trying to fulfill lily's dream, making the perfect peony for her wedding.  it's still not quite there, but we're getting closer.
