Weddings

orange set, originally uploaded by offgenemi.

Looking back I realized many people ordered pieces for their weddings.
A nice bridal hair accessory, boutonnière for the groom and groomsmen, hair accessories for bride's mother, flower girl and of course bridesmaids. Most people wanted different pieces for each person and they choose red and orange the most :) Tsumami kanzashi style boutonnière are very nice since you can preserve them very easily as a memento from that beautiful wedding party. They are also very unique and they complement cherry blossom themed weddings perfectly :)
Flowers were not the only this that were ordered for weddings, our good luck origami stars are very popular these days, people use them as favors or as table decorations or as fillers for the gifts they get for the bridesmaids.
Some lucky bridesmaid got triangular pyramid bags as a gift for their hard work and support some others received anti tarnish pouches to keep their nice silver jewelry clean and shiny.
I also made a birdcage style hair accessory with a tsumami kanzashi hair comb, the same person got something for bridesmaids, flower girl, groom, groomsmen. so Her cherry blossom themed wedding was perfect with all these details.
have fun planing your own wedding or helping others plan theirs
cheers

Stitched Jewels- oak leaves

Hi all,
I returned back from my home land and I am ready for a new year! I received an email from the publisher the other day, "Stitched Jewels" a book describing how to make several beautiful jewelry projects by using sewing techniques and textile products will be released May 2009. You can also find a section where I am describing how to make my oak leaves brooch/pendants. This is the first time for me to be featured in a book so i am very very excited, I can't wait for it be released! So I just wanted to share with you :)
cheers
