This is the start of my favorite Season! In the dance world, my choreography's have been recognized for there "Shades of Dark!". I love the drama, anticipation and sense of the "Forbidden" in story lines. I have associated large movements, small details and color in not only my choreography's but my designs as well.
So at the moment I am bathing in a cauldron of ideas for my most beloved girls! My BJD dolls and their Hats!
I thought I would start off by "easing" into September and then bring out the full parade in October. This first piece, is on a headband. The headband is a milliners wire covered with black felt. It is adorned with some of my favorite findings from the forest floor. It has pods, tiny acorns and acorn shells, pieces of cracked walnuts, feathers and ribbons. All the wonderful gems that perhaps your little troll or dark fairy wood adore? It is hand sewn and yes, the little nuts etc. are glued on. It fits easily on the dolls head for sizes 8-9.
What I liked about making this headband was seeing all the little nuts and shells etc., and thinking..."This little pretty could be dressed for a variety of special FOREST happenings!".
