Crown Me

Hello again! These summer weeks are rolling by faster and faster... I feel I am behind a bit keeping up with my blog. Thank You for having patience with me:)

We have tons of projects going on around here, and lots of swaps to do too!! Busy Busy!!

I wanted to share a quick post today of some crowns I recently completed. The concept came from a roll of chicken wire I had out back, and wondered what I could create with it... And then BOOM it hit me Crowns!!!






 I added tons of vintage paper flowers, vintage millinery,vintage buttons, found treasures and crepe paper. I had a box of Christmas stuff, and decided to use some of the finding from the box as embellishments. I love the mixture of the aged silver and gold together, and a dash of creamy white. That color palette holds magic for me... I Love it!!!



For this crown, I created for a Fall Faerie Crown Swap... It was fun pulling out the oranges and velvet leaves for this one...



 Mosses, berries,sparkling copper and velvet leaves, butterflies, feathers, and a  fall faerie are embellished on the front and sides... I hope they like it!




This one was really fun to make!!!


A Queenie Crown... I love this little crown! Again with the same color palette of whites,silvers and golds, because I just love the silver and whites together...





White dipped roses in German Glass Glitter, silver leaves,white feather clusters,vintage tinsel, and a Happiness banner created from vintage sheet music. I backed the butterfly with a coordinating paper, since you can see it from the back.

I added the Queen at the top, using the same German Glass Glitter around the edges, and German Scrap at the top, I then attached it with a gold pipe cleaner...



Oh so fun!!! I hope you enjoyed my little crowns today... You can find some of these listed in my Etsy Shoppe too! www.etsy.com/shop/flutterbeforeyou  here's the link for you:)

Until next time, much love to you and yours....

Hugs,
~Susan
