Tulle le Monde. Tout le Monde.

I just got back from a surprise weekend in New York to celebrate our anniversary. I snuck in a few appointments with some leather suppliers before heading back today. 

I meant to post this sooner.  I found these images of silk tulle and lace inspirational and so romantic.

Found via tumblr.

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Bird..

Feather necklace LoveatFirstBlush

 

I thought I would share some of the inspiration behind my work. My ivory white feather necklaces (available in the shop) are inspired by the wings of a dove and feathers of a swan. 

Have a great weekend!

A Study of Roses: Sources of Inspiration

When I'm creating an inspiration board, I compile a stack of tear sheets from my favorite magazines and images I've collected over a period of time. I got into this habit of tearing magazine pages when I was 12 with my first subscription of Seventeen magazine. I like to make a collage of fashion tears, images and thread colors/fabric scraps for colour inspiration, which all fuel my creativity.

At this moment, I'm enchanted by roses. Expect to see some rose inspired items for the new collection, and maybe something mythical and mysterious.

Just a reminder, you still have time to enter my giveaway HERE which ends tonight.
