♦ ♣ ♥ ♠ Ingredients ♦ ♣ ♥ ♠

So... I have all the bits, sort of, just waiting on the blue veiling to arrive, oh and I haven’t put the Liberty fabric I am going to use underneath as a lining in the pic. Think I might have too many bits. Just not quite sure how to put them all together. Was thinking of a velvet base with the flowers and foliage gathered at the top. Rhinestones either on the leaves or the veiling, maybe even both.

hmmmmm

Watch this space!

♦ ♣ ♥ ♠ The Royal Flush with a bit more umph! ♦ ♣ ♥ ♠

So... more interest in the Queen of Hearts this week. Another request for a design similar to the one sold last week, but with the Royal Flush and a fixture enabling it to be attached to a hat. Here’s the result...

I actually like it that much I am in the process of making one with some veiling. Think this will be popular at the fair in a couple of weeks.

Now to start my entry for the Burlesque Sellers team challenge. Better late than never, deadline next Saturday, got to get a move on!

♦ ♣ ♥ ♠ Burlesque Sellers on Etsy ♦ ♣ ♥ ♠

I recently joined a team, on Etsy, a team for all handmakers of costumes, accessories and props suited to the Burlesque world. Since joining I have loved seeing who joins the team, browsing through the shops and ♥ing the items.

Recently our Captain, RedsRibbons came up with the idea of a Team Challenge. GREAT IDEA! We were given a month from the announcement of who was crowned Miss Exotic World 2011 (MEW).

Miss Indigo Blue took the prize and so the contest began. I say began, I only finished sourcing the bits and pieces for it about an hour ago. It shall begin, hopefully in the next 24 hours. I always leave it until the last minute, just hope I can create something as flamboyant and spectacular as Miss Indigo Blue!
