A boredom-inspired eBay search led to my discovery of fascinators. I had the notion to search for 'burlesque' in the clothing and accessories section, and these curious hair ornaments kept popping up. There were some beautiful ones about, most of which predominantly used feathers. A few went a stretch further and played around with materials, which I what I decided to do when I tried my hand at making one.
Using mostly bits and pieces I had lying around, I'm really pleased how this turned out. Black, white and red is a favourite colour scheme of mine and I'd wanted to usde some old playing cards in an accessory for a while. The only new purchase for this creation was the red feathers.
The piece is attached to a slim red alice band, and so can be worn on either side of the head. I had a lot of fun making this and can't wait to make some more. This, and others, will eventually be sold on my forthcoming online store.

This is perfect! It looks so well made. Can't wait for them to be in our shop! :D
ReplyDeleteAlways wondered what they were called...
ReplyDeleteConstructive criticism... I feel like the dangily parts at the bottom are a little too much, perhaps would be better if they were all the same colour?
The top half is beautiful and perfect. <3
