The birth of a 1920s inspired headband. My healthy obsession with the 1920s esthetic goes quite a few years back. In 2007 I discovered Tribal Fusion Bellydance. I fell in love with the whole package, music, dance-moves and costume. Since then a part of the ever evolving tribal fusion community's costume style has been drawn towards a vintage inspired look. Everything from saloon-girl style skirts and boots to heavily beaded Art Deco patterned dresses has had it's time in the spotlight. Having had a preference for flapper-clothing even before discovering the dance I naturally got stuck in the 20s style. Anyway, enough about me and let's get back to the "making of the shiny stuff"! So,I'm about to make a 20s inspired headdress. I'd like it to be extravagant, made of vintage materials when possible, positively dripping with jewels, beads and feathers. We'll see how that goes...

I rarely wear pink. I'm just not a pink kind of girl. But I cannot seem to stop myself from making pink/gold jewellery. I just think it's such a pretty combination.

I also can't resist the cheeky ladies in some vintage photography, they are simply the best!

So, yeah! Pink rules!

Why is it that having a cold in the summer feels worse than when you're sick in the winter? This cold of mine effectively halted my plans for a while but it's time to go back to the drawing board...or in my case, my sofa-table!

This week I've been meaning to finish a new collection for a racing stables shop. I've come across pictures of edwardian ladies and horses which I think would make lovely jewellery for the horse-lover! I thought I'd take some photos but since it's raining today the light isn't sufficient enough. I do love antique prints though so this will have to do for now!
