Commission: Aquamarine Rose Headband

This is something I made for a friend of mine. She wanted something in a light blue with flowers and an Imperial Fiddlesticks flair so I pretty much got to do whatever I wanted with it. It was a lot of fun working on this since I had never done any headbands like this before and I am really happy with the way it turned out. It is decorated with light blue organza ribbon, blue roses, green leaves and little white baby's breath.

Price: 400 SEK

SOLD

Captain Cthulhu Mini Tricorne

A gorgeous Tricorne that I am really proud of. It is black and green and decorated with ostrich plumes, a peacock feather, green trim and the stones from a pair of old earrings that I got from my mother. It has a comb attached to the underside as well as two small hoops of ribbons where you can easily attach hairclips. 

Price: 550 SEK + Shipping

 SOLD

Deadly Nightshade Minihat

Yet another one of my new hats. I was rather stressed while making this since it had to be ready for the Lolita Fleemarket but now that it's done I am really very happy with it. It is relatively small, about 15cm wide and 7cm high, and it has a black base that has been decorated with dark blue trim and grosgrain ribbon as well as some black dotted tulle. It has two little hoops of ribbon attached to the underside with two hairclips for easy wearing. 

Price: 350 SEK (Swedish Kronor) + Shipping

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. 

Price: 200 SEK (Swedish kronor) + Shipping

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. 

Price: 400 SEK (Swedish Kronor) + Shipping

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.
