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.
