So Today is the day I start my blog!!! I will begin by showing a few of the new things I am working on. Since our trip to London in June, I have been loving all things 1600-1800's . With that, I have made up some Marie Antoinette inspired pieces.
I have been making florets ( that's what I am calling them... Do they have a proper name?) like a madwoman!! I was making the florets out of simple patterned paper, then I tried it with vellum and WHAT A GREAT RESULT!!!! I really wanted to make some from crepe paper. I tried EVERYTHING... finally I just sewed the edge and gathered, just like one does for a skirt or sleeve.
It worked and that's what I used for the Marie Antoinette party hat!!!
Today is day one... let's see what happenes tomorrow.
