Haaauuullll!!!!!

Finally got into the city yesterday to pick up some much needed supplies. Replenishing the basic bridal looping stock as well as adding a brand new colour, Gold, PERFECT for eveningwear and alternative bridal colours.

I needed some wide White lace for another future project, and this one pretty closely matches my Black and Pink ones so it will be perfect.

Then I hit up the millinery store and scored some beautiful Tiffany Blue Starbright straw, which is for a very special top secret project! And some more basic black millinery wire. I found another unusual braid I might have to go back for to use in the top secret project.

Mail Haauuuullll!!!!

Some goodies came in the mail today! Miyuki Drop Fringe Seed beads, in from L-R: Red Light Topaz, Matte White Pearl and Lavender.
They are tiny, only about 3mmx4mm, but they are perfect for what I need.
I’m going to wire them and use them as handmade glass flower stamen.

Haauuullll!!! New Colours

Picked up a few new colours to add to the bridal collection, Dusky Rose and Dark Red, ready for bridal buttons and roses.

Haaauuuulllll!

 

Haaauuuulllll!

Today’s haul features a load of luxury bridal button looping to restock the button shop, ostrich nandu feathers and unusual oval shaped paillettes in pink & silver, and a blue & grey plaited nylon placemat……perfect for unstitching and upcycling as millinery braid into a hat (plus the plaited lengths will give at twice the amount as a basic placemat) I always hunt these out if I can find them at a bargain price, always look beyond somethings practical use and see how you can use it.
