Hi Everyone! I've been working on these ornaments for the past few days. I love them because they're very shiny and they sparkle under the light. I created several different designs. . .the picture shows a few of them. I've made about 12 of them so far and I have about 20 more ornaments to make.

Most of our FaeryWear is made of the finest silks and silk velvets and has been washed and distressed to perfect softness before being sent out into the world. That means most of it is easy to care for and can be safely washed by hand or gently by machine. The chiffons can hang to dry and they dry very quickly! The velvets can be dried by machine with a fabric softener sheet and you will love how they feel! Please be aware that any tattered edges and other signs of being worn while sleeping under brambles are intentional because...have you ever seen a faery with a hem?

A cold join, metal, found object ring made in Susan Lenart Kazmir's class. I used many jewelry skills, lots of new ones, to construct this ring. I started with only a sheet of copper, iron wire, sterling wire, and four found metal objects (the metal for the band, the loop, the hand, and the bottom coin.) I had to anneal, cut, saw, patina, punch, rivet, and wire the rest. The metal loop just under the top lintel piece is loose and will spin all the way around the ring, under the lintel. It looked somewhat like a fertilizer spreader to me -- hence the name "Spreading Joy." The word "joy" is punched into the metal loop and the words "joy" and "gentleness" are punched into the metal just below the loop.

I think this dress is just genious and beautiful. I had to look at the large image up-close until I figured out what this was made from. Maybe add a few sparkling crystals/silver sequins and this would kill on the prom dance floor. Made from discarded stockings.

Jennifer Perkins Naughty Secretary Club "I get inspiration from the darndest places. I collect vintage costume jewelry for starters and have since childhood so I love the look of big chunky bakelite necklaces from the 40’s, long slinky 70’s necklaces and bright huge plastic pieces from the 80’s. I am actually smitten on all things kitschy and vintage and get a lot of my inspiration from these things."

We did when a few of us tried this bag and discovered at once that it molded perfectly to the body, looked spectacular with any color we wore, and did all that with stylish fringe and comfortable straps, to boot. Made from fabric scraps, our Yes! Bag makes a cool or playful statement in any company, wherever it roams.

We love the adventurous fashions from UK designer and photographer TiinaTeaspon. Her work is combines the best bits of bohemia, a masquerade ball, theatrical costuming to create unique fashions that are sure to turn heads at a party. Each of her pieces has character, and you’ll never have to worry about arriving at a party wearing someone’s matching dress. A graduate of the London College of Fashion, not only are these pieces original and handmade, but she creates her works from reclaimed cotton, eco-friendly bamboo jersey, and natural dyes.
