A touch of Vintage Blue!

Evening all! I am just posting some photos of my latest commission- a first for me as I have never made a birdcage veil/accessory before. It is always fun to try something different and both my client and I were very happy with the end results! As you can see from the photos I used a blue netting (to match a 1950's vintage style dress in blue and white), and I embellished the veil with blue and white beaded flower petals, and also blue and white glass pearls. I finished it off by edging the ends with tiny blue beads and a little blue/white pearl flower on each side. The veil has a small comb attached so it can be easily used in tandem with a matching haircomb- (see my facebook page for more photos with matching comb). I can do this in most colours and would be delighted to discuss your ideas if you are interested in this item. Please email any queries to jen@jendoyledesigns.com

Dreamcatchers


Well, here it is, my mystery project! Completely out of the sphere of what I normally do- I have been dying to try to make one of these for a long time so here it is- my first Dreamcatcher. I am fascinated with ancient lore and legends, from our own Irish history as well as other cultures. Native American Indian legend says that if you put one of these above your bed, all the good dreams will filter through the hole in the centre of the dreamcatcher net, while all the bad dreams will be caught in the net- unable to get free. Then when the dawn light touches the dreamcatcher, the bad dreams caught in its net will perish.. I like this theory quite a lot!
I made this one wrapped in white, with a mix of blue, black and white feathers. I also used rock crystal quartz to embellish it. This stone is said to be useful for many things and in particular, healing, creativity, communication and clarity of thought..
I can make them in any size/colour and personalise them to suit. Please email me at jen@jendoyledesigns.com for more information or with any questions.
