first things first: so i won't be participating in the bloomington handmade market this year. it's very humbling to be rejected from an event that i wish i were cool enough to participate in. i know there are tons of vendors who are much more artistic and have more unique items, so i am excited to see those in november! it's a bummer that i didn't get accepted, but i am not going to let that crush my crafty spirit!
moving on to a happier subject, i thought i'd share some recent special orders for weddings. marriage!
desire' contacted me a while ago through my dear friend ashley nacke. it's so fun to realize how small the world is and how connections can be made through facebook and the blog world! for her brother and (now) sister-in-law's wedding, desire' wanted something to match her bright red shoes (and so did one other bridesmaid).
the shoes:
i decided to mimic the shape of the rosette and add some vintage jewelry to each of the two pieces. i went with diamonds because desire' said it matched the bridesmaid jewelry. here's what i ended up with:
faux satin rosettes with some of my favorite vintage jewels:
here's deisre' sporting her treasure and wedding 'do:
so pretty!
i just finished some pieces for my friend erika's wedding. erika is one of the secondhand happenings gals, and i am so excited that three of her bridesmaids will be sporting hair treasures.
erika's bridesmaids requested pieces similar to the designs i did for jara's wedding (the twisted fabrics with beading). she sent me a picture of the jewelry and even gave me the fabric (whoa!), both of which helped tremendously.
erika's bridesmaids' jewelry:
(i love the yellow and dark pewter color together!)
here's what i came up with:
one headband and two clips, all three beaded similarly. i used glass beads in silver and the darker pewter color. erika's bridesmaids' dresses are yellow, and the darker fabric in the background matches the jewelry. perfect!
the headband (to be worn by the lovely laura balke) :
two peas in a pod (not sure who will wear these, but they will be matchers!) :
erika's wedding is in just a couple weeks. i can't wait to see pictures of everything! oh, and speaking of secondhand happenings and weddings, if you haven't already checked out something borrowed, you need to! the SH gals are now offering a beautiful assortment of vintage dinnerware to rent for special occasions. pretty perfect, right? right.
more fun things are happening in the hair treasures world. i will post again soon! have a happy sunday.
