I was in NYC a few weeks ago and found myself in the heart of the garment district. I poked around several stores for hours and was completely blown away by the selection. Rhinestones in every size! Feathers of every colour! Sequins, appliques and trim galore! I was in heaven.

I managed to restrain myself and came out with the following loot

I’m so excited to start new work!

I was contacted by a young lady who had met me through the Shanghai Winter Craft sale last year, and she wanted a wedding fascinator for her new year’s eve wedding. She sent a few photos, and I think I was able to capture what she was looking for. This piece was smaller than I usually make, but unfortunately I don’t have any wedding photos to show sizing.

This piece was fun to make since I used the netting in a very different way than I’m used to, and I finally got to use the bleached peacock feathers I had on hand.
