Favours for favours

Finished up a bunch of dangly favours for the wedding. Going to glaze
them a fantastic ohata red as well as the mag yellow.

Attempt number 3

With fewer straight lines. Slightly more exuberant.. Do I even need the garland.. could it just be flowers in the background?

Attempt number 2

Stll a bit somber looking. I wonder if I make the type a different color? Huh. Or different font type..

Maybe the bird has to be made out of kraft paper and assembled? hmmm Maybe the bird looks too sad?

The gloves!

Here are the gloves I also got! They were super dirty when I got them, but after learning how to wet clean vintage clothing, this was a piece of cake to clean! Key is to use a toothbrush (note I bought a new one just for cleaning if you are grossed out), woolite, and OXYCLEAN! haha

For my wedding hat

I'm making a clip hat for the wedding and I found this terrific milliners flower thing at the antique market this weekend. This is what made me want to revise my color scheme.

Iteration #1 at invite

So here is the first prototype of the wedding invite. It's a bit busy simply because I had used the paper initally to test out my new stamps but what I'd like to do is to have this thread be a common garland that has flowers strung off of it. (not flowers all over the page, which is a bit busy here) what do you think?

I had a lot of fun with this. I really want to tie in the bird, string, and flower theme together. And at the same time have this look handmade, which i think i achieved. The ink here looks really
orange but in actuality, it is vermillion, and the yellow is a goldenrod. The bird should be in chocolate brown.

What is that????

Wow - I hadn't looked in my vinegar urn in ages.. and there was a HUGE piece of mother floating at the top!  Any takers?
