Also, fascinators come in different colors, of course.

Last Thursday, I attended en engagement  and tied my gele in a hurry. I was in  room where a make up artist was working. So, I 'foolishly' asked her opinion, just to make sure I was presentable. I mean, I've been tying my geles since I was in high school. Yeye girl said to me, "It's OK. I mean, at our training school that would be an F9". Imagine that?!

So, I waited till the wedding on Saturday to redeem myself. I think I did well yeah...

Crinoline, Beautiful Brides and Perforated fingers

Hi y'all!

Don't think that we haven't been busy because there haven't been any updates in a while. It's been a whirlwind of activity in the workshop.

Here are photos of some of our work in the last few months.


Some faux flower bouquets for a very happy customer.

 

Fascinator Soni

Fascinator Mims. Fascinators go very well with braids too.

Wide brimmed fascinator. This was featured at the Royal Ascot this year. We're famous!

I love happy models. Who wore it best?

Fascinator Amaka

 

Wear your fascinator as a hair clip for a different look, and a definite WOW effect.

 

In our spare time, we like to 'rechauffe' our scrap materials. Ballet flat brooches made from sinamay and beads.

 

And we try our hands on other crafts, like bead work. Mainly, the simple stuff.

 

New design, no name yet.
