Whimsy Weddings: Ribbon Flowers continued

I finished my entire roll of ribbon!

The new creations are given names that just came to me when I looked at them. It's weird, but it's as if they were spoke to me and introduced themselves!

Let me introduce you to...

Annie

Grace and Kelly

Brigette

Audrey

The best thing about them is that they can be mounted on a comb, ring, pin, brooch, pendant, slipped through a belt, etc.

I can't wait to experiment with ribbons of different fabric, pattern, width and texture and meet the new ladies that I will create.

Whimsy Weddings: Ribbon Flowers

I bought a roll of ribbons today thinking that it'll be nice to mix yarn and ribbon to create wedding accessories.

It was my first time working with ribbons. I'm so pleased they turned out so well!

They can be customised into a wedding brooch, hairpiece, corsage, etc. I'm going to turn the second one into a belt. Neat ribbons are very 'in' right now.

Four Leaf Clover Pendant

I made this some time back when I was feeling down on luck.

Four leaf clovers are supposedly bringers of luck, and they are also a pretty pattern that one don't mind wearing (it's rather morbid to wear a rabbit's foot around one's neck, isn't it?).

It's essentially four (stuffed) heart attached at the tip, with a curled stalk. It's not a dainty pendant, but one that demands attention for the bosom, and hopefully attract luck with it's outlandish style.

A Bunch of Cherry Pom Pom Flowers

Phew! It takes longer than it looks but I finished five stalks of cherry pom pom flowers (three flowers each stalk).

And it made a nice gift for my friend who had a new office which had no personal touch to it.

Carnations and Droopy Cherry Pom-Poms

With my Macbook in ICU, I finally took a break from staring at the monitor and getting my hands dirty again.

My half finished carnations are finally finished. And I even made little, droopy cherry pom-pom flowers. Something about droopy flowers, plants and trees (like the weeping willows) are endearing.

Pixie Cap with Bluebell

Many pictures for this entry just because one can never get enough of baby pictures!

I made a pixie cap for my niece who is going to go for holiday in the cold highlands soon.

I found a pattern in Sweaterbabe.com that I based this pattern on. But because I was using a lighter thread to the one suggested (I was waaay off the gauge), I ended up making it up along the way to fit her head.

I had a picture of a pixie with a bluebell on the tip of his hat. It took me several attempts to make the bluebell look half-decent. 

The unwilling model manages a sultry pose that is fast becoming her signature

 Have you taken enough pictures already? Can we play now?

Passionate Corsage

There's nothing like fresh flowers, of course. Yet, if you use fresh flowers for wedding corsages, what is the bride and bridesmaids going to keep as a Keepsake after?

A big one that overflows onto the sides of the wrist would be sure to make a statement.

This colour makes you think passion, doesn't it.
