Woodland Saga Corsage

A pretty and elegant corsage with brown and brownish-pink feathers, little golden pinecones and a pale pink flower. It has both a small hairclip and a broochpin on the back so it can be worn in a variety of different ways, both in your hair and attached to your clothing or bag.

Royal Vanilla Mini Tophat

One of my newest hats, Royal Vanilla. It is a miniature tophat that is approximately 13cm wide and 18cm high. It is decorated with creme and gold ribbons, roses and a small hatpin with a teardrop shaped pearl. It also has a big white ostrich plume. It is worn with the help of a comb attached to the underside but it also has two little hoops in which you can easily attach hairclips.

Commission, New things and Teaparty!

I finished my Steampunk Tricorn Commission the other day and this is what it looks like now:

I brought it with me to the Teaparty at Viola Lahger yesterday and Varga was really happy with it. I think! I hope! Anyway, I really liked how it turned out. 

A little while ago I decided to expand the business a little. Hats and corsages are nice and all but they are generally very big/extravagant/expensive so I thought I'd make some hairclips that are both a lot cheaper And much easier to match to an existing outfit. More pictures of these little hairbows will come in time.

Other news... Ah yes! I have finally arranged a work space in my room so it is now a lot easier for me to get work done on my hats. A huge desk bought from a charity organisation, plenty of boxes to store materials in and I'm good to go! At some point I'll upload a pic so you can see what it looks like. I really like it!

Yesterday was the Masked Ball-themed teaparty at Viola Lahger and I was there, of course. It was really nice and I got a lot of positive feedback on my hats and things. I also sold the Vespertine Blossom mini hat so a lovely young lady. It looked as if the hat was made for her!

That's all for now, folks! I shall try to update this blog more often now that I have really gotten started with the hats again.
More info about yesterday's teaparty, and pictures, can be found on my personal blog: http://imperial-fiddlesticks.blogspot.com

Commissions

Here are some of my latest orders:

Tess wanted two hats in Red/White/Black. One that was simple and elegant, and one that was more over the top with a kind of circus theme.

Arathin wanted a simple hat to match a velvet dress she had made. She provided most of the materials and I pieced together this little darling.

Last, but certainly not least, is this wonderful Steampunk Tricorn that Varganess commissioned me to make. It is not quite done yet and more pictures will come when I have finished all the details, but I wanted to show it anyway. I am quite pleased with the way it looks even now. 

Oh yes, I was at the first Lolita Fleemarket today. It was really nice and I had brought a bunch of hats and corsages. I was dead tired most of the day but I still managed to enjoy myself and I sold two things:

This new Corsage, Rosalie's Garden.

 And my Midnight Lure minihat.

Sneakpeaks on my new projects

Gatsby's Decline Corsage

Here is one of the Corsages I made a few months ago, Gatsby's Decline. It has a distinctly Steampunk theme with browns, beiges, greys and coppery red. It is a compilation of flowers, feathers, plumes, ribbons, berries, cogs and gears. On the back is a small metal plate with both a hairclip and a brooch needle attached so that it may be worn in a variety of different ways. It is maybe... 25cm high -ish. Better pictures and measurements can be provided.

Price: 350 SEK + Shipping

Materials - Flowers

I was thinking it might be wise to show you some of the materials I have to work with. I spent over an hour yesterday sorting through all my flowers so I thought it would be easiest to start with them. 

So here they are, every single flower I have sorted by color. Well... almost anyway. I have been working on hats and accessories today so some of the flowers are still spread out across my livingroom floor.
