Holiday Whimsy for a Baby Fairy
Checking my Facebook messages a few weeks ago, I received a custom order request to make a halo style head piece for a 6 month old baby girl. Mother mentioned that baby was going to wear a dress with lots of gold and to be photographed in a woodsy, whimsy setting with a fairy mood.
Of course I accepted the order and made this cute headband to compliment the baby's red hair. The mother contacted me yesterday to say that she loved the halo and she was going to forward a photo to me. I'm so excited to see it and will post on my Facebook page and it here too.
I'm also entertained by the "name" of the dress mother chose for baby girl to wear.
It's called a "BONNIE" and that is my name too! Can hardly wait to see the pic with the halo!....So wonderful to have satisfied customers that take the time to let me know they like my work.
I LOVE my job!

Lovely Woodland Halo
Made for a custom request, this gorgeous adult sized HALO is going to be used in a maternity photo shoot.
I'm able to craft one of these lovely halos in about 4 hours time. And like an author that finishes a piece of writing only to return to it for edits and re-write, I do the same with my halo projects.
I'll finish the piece without final glue and tac and let it rest. Give it another go over next day and then do the final touches. Once the pieces are wired and glued in place, making any design changes is almost impossible without doing damage to the halo so it's important to let a piece sit and see it with a new perspective.
I craft my halos free hand as each one is an individual work of art. Having the colors and general idea of what the client wants is all I need to work the idea and placement in my head, and then just I start with the placement of the focal floral and work out from there with the smaller floral bits and greens.
Size isn't an issue because I make them on a wrapped floral wire loop. The wire can be bent or formed to the models head for a better fit, and since I leave the backside free of foliage it's a simple task to bend the wire a bit.
I love this one especially since my beautiful daughter was my model for the finished product!...My customer loved it and I'm anxious to see a pic of HER beautiful pregnant model wearing it.
Branding and Labeling Products
Placing a customized cute label or tag on your products is the finishing step in creating your beautiful props.
This past weekend I was busy printing and cutting out fabric labels, hang tags, and business cards for both of my shops. I think I have enough to carry me through the holiday selling season and if not I'll make some more.
Going for the BLUES
The market for newborn props is flooded with gorgeous headbands halos wraps and tutus for the girly girls. But what about the boys?
I'm a huge fan of upcycling to make OOAK props. Give me a like new major brand sweater and I'll turn it into half a dozen hats and little pants for the boys.
Here's a sample of hat with a tail that tucks into the wide brim of a hat!
Like to match that cut blue hat with some pants?... Here ya go! Both items and more are available in my shop or from my FACEBOOK page...
