Lovely use of the colour. Your piece makes me think of the head bands worn by women in the flapper era.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Such a creative use of the fabrics and colours. The wavy line on top is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have made the feathers and incorporated them into the design - it all comes together beautifully and is very stylish.
ReplyDeleteColleen, I think this 3-D approach is something of a trademark for you, no? Love the buttons!
ReplyDeleteI do love your feathers, and I agree with Dianne about the flapper era feel to it. I think the colours and style make me think of old theatres and jazz as well!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the very plush Regency era of feather boas and theatre boxes... Love the idea and the way you have pulled it all together.

Yes very stylish!! I think Pam would have been eyeing this design for her daughter's wedding last year!
ReplyDeleteAll been said. Love the piece. Now I need to get back to mine and add the 2D leaves to correct it.
ReplyDeleteI love the rich colours. I loathe pinks and avoid them like the plague, but they go so beautifully with the marsala. Just goes to show that I shouldn4t rule any colours out!
