Wedding Season

I can tell wedding season is fast approaching as I have my fourth order for woven reed hearts this week! Weaving, painting, dyeing, and shipping. Here are just a few of the ones I have created lately!
The heart reed baskets are great for flower girls or even a different look for bridesmaids, but what about the BRIDE!




Check out some of the things being made at Vintage Wedding Gems.

Located in Kansas City, each creation is handmade based and can be custom made. Utilizing vintage lace, ribbons, and gems, each piece carries a little bit of history into a very historic event! What a great way to add a personal touch to a memorable event.

This Purple Venise Lace Headband is such a pretty addition! It would compliment the purple heart basked carried by the flower girls perfectly!

Arm Knitted Scarf

It is always nice to be able to purchase handcrafted items for either myself or for others as gifts. Knowing someone put time into creating a piece makes it special.

Check out some of the artists in the Kansas City Area. In the months ahead I will highlight various artists and their creations. It is always exciting to see what others are doing and be able to take some of their excitement and turn it into my own inspirations. Pictured are some of my latest projects inspired by others ideas.

Re-Purposed Rugby Ball

I have a few rugby balls that either will not hold air any more or are so slick that we never use them at practice. Many end up becoming toys for dogs of friends and family. I remember turning a basketball into a mask for a project in middle school and was trying to think of what else I could do with a rugby ball.

The end result was a handbag! A few ideas for adjustments keep popping up. I have one friend who has requested a bag from a special ball made for our college alma mater. Will see what the future holds!
