Ok so in my wedding blog i wrote about how expensive wedding jewellery is. One of my friends paid over £500 for a tiara "ARE YOU CRAZY?" I asked?! Shoes~Ok, Tiara~WHAT?
So i then get the idea in my head i want to make a tiara, want to get it out of my system and see just how on earth people can dare charge sooooo much.....
Well today i did!! OMG!! £500? Worth every penny... i am telling you that is one hard slog!! Beading work over and over, threading onto a wire constant & twisting till perfect. No thank you!! So if anyone asks if i make Tiaras my answer will be depends on how much sanity i have left!!
This however is the finished piece, hope you like... Im off to eat ice cream whilst wearing my Tiara... Its may not of cost £500 but the labour that went into it is surely worth a few quid!!
I love vintage!! Each & everything with a history! These day however the vintage trend has caught on BIG STYLE! Larger shops such as Selfridges & Harvey Nicks are selling vintage inspired pieces for BIG $! As a single mum i cant afford these pieces and to be honest dont want a mass produced piece SO i make my own out of finds from charity shops, flea markets & antique fairs. They usually are damanged and need restoring and that is what i do to make my reworked vintage items x
