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.

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.

Commission: Wicked Witch Mini Hat

I got this order about a week before Halloween. It was at the Halloween teaparty at Viola Lagher actually. 

The girl in question wanted a mini Witchhat to wear at a party the next weekend. All she requested was for it to be black and shaped like a traditional Witch hat. We also talked about adding some other color, but she left it to me to decide which one. 

In the end I made a hat that had a black base and was decorated with dark blue trim, blue flowers, black dotted tulle, blue ribbons and a couple of black stones dangling from little chains. This one, like the Winter Rose hat, has little hairclips attached to the bottom. 

I am really quite happy with the way it turned out and the girl who ordered it seemed equally pleased.
