This is the fourth rose fascinator I have made, but they seem to be popular and Mother’s Day is next Sunday so I thought it was appropriate to get one done today in lavender. This style of fascinator works well on anyone and is age limitless. It is mounted on a coordinating narrow hair band [...]

This is another in my rose fascinator series, following a white and then fuchsia colors. First I make the rose and bow as the base of the fascinator using glitter net. I then build a feather pad for the rose to sit on using biot feathers that I curl first. These easy to wear fascinators [...]

I had a vintage broach in my unique jewelry pieces that kept screaming at me to use it. Every time I looked at it I also heard the song “I love Paris”. For some reason black and yellow came into my head so I covered and lined a round saucer base I made, with black [...]

When I designed this piece I had both bride, mother of the bride, and wedding guest in mind. This piece perhaps would suit a bride who wants something simple without a full veil and may like the touch of French veil that I added. Or maybe a mother of the bride or a wedding guest [...]
