I don’t get it. My program has been all about global warming and how weather patterns / phenomenon such as El Nino and El Nina dictate these shifts yet I still am unable to believe just how directly it effects everyone. This also means a late growing season for farmers and it’ll effect so many things. I can’t grow my edible flowers yet because I’m too afraid to let them grow outside and starting them inside with such dreary weather doesn’t get my hopes up, either.
That aside, I’ve been out of town and away from my studio due to a slight emergency. But, as always I’ve dragged most of my immediate portable materials with me and I whipped up a headpiece two nights ago (along with a few necklaces but I didn’t take pictures). Currently, I am working hard at expanding my collection for the meeting I have with a local boutique owner this coming Friday. I hope she likes my stuff and buys/carries it at her store!
It’s so beautiful. I can’t bear to part with it unless offered a small fortune. :) It’s very Dolly-Kei and I can’t wait to coordinate it. I really love the warm copper charms I imported which add to the overall warmth and richness of red accents and the red wool bow.

| I begin with a brief laying out of what I prospectively want the headpiece to look like. |

| I don’t sleep for a whole night working on things like this and at 7-8 AM the sun shines. |

| I bless my items with the first rays of sunshine. Haha. Then photographing commences. |
On another note, I also got my custom order of plastic casted sparrow skulls from an across the border taxidermist after literally almost 2 months of waiting. It was a long and somewhat tedious wait but well worth what I got. I really wish I had gotten most of the skulls drilled because they look really awesome as necklaces. What do you guys think?
Also, made a nice find at Dollarama recently. I’ve been desperately looking for millenary branches with buds - I tried Queen West, Fabricland…but was then recommend Michael’s. I found exactly what I was looking for at Dollarama instead - with at least 5 colortones in a huge branch for a mere $1. Score! I left with pale green and cream buds.

I love all of it!
...And those skulls are awesome...I'd like to have one, too...:3
...And about the snow, srsly, wtf. -_-
Oh my, that headpiece is just beautiful! I'm so jealous!
I like the layering for the headpiece, its decadent but not cluttered. What kind of adhesive did you use to secure the parts?
That's a good idea to get a skull casted and not use an actual one. I've been wanting to experiment with making skeleton jewelry but have been concerned how brittle small bone parts could be.
