Color Inspiration: Pale Rose

Remembering the season of the rose...

Autumn rose with pale rose petals, capturing last rays of sun. Enclosing its warmth within. The color of sweetness and innocence, softness, peace...

Inspired by the pink rose that has summer sun enclosed within, the first thought was of the old French beads in Prosser technique. They have the sweetest glow!

Antique hollow glass beads (in triangular plate) will add the sparkle. Vintage faceted glass beads have gentle rainbow gloss - I got these strung with labels "Made in Western Germany". I added some new Czechia glass beads, both pressed and faceted.

Delicate pink rice shaped pearls are vintage and will find their place among all the other beads. Inspired by pale pink rose.

Color Inspiration: Fields of Lavender

Imagine a morning by the fields of lavender. Muted colors of purple as the first rays of sun light up the misty air.

Inspired by these colors I put together a selection of vintage beads. Some in old English cut, some French Prosser technique. An array of purple violet colors in opaque, transparent and some covered with shiny coating.

Glass and crystal glass stones shimmer in the light. Rare textured glass stones with sparkly vintage Swarovski rhinestones create an enchanting contrast.

Bye-bye Summer!

Rhinestone Headpiece in Vintage Style

This handmade rhinestone headpiece is for making a statement! Sparkly crystal rhinestones are all set one by one into settings and vintage glass pearls wired carefully onto the metal filigrees. Something truly feminine and floral to adorn yourself in special occasions like wedding, birthday or graduation! Take a look of the progress in photos:

First step was to set all the rhinestones into settings. Then
attaching set rhinestones and vintage glass pearls onto the filigrees.

I used memorywire for the base - it holds the round shape and is
lightweight. After making the base I covered it with florist tape.

The headpiece base is finished with supportive filigree band
and signature. All I need to do now is to attach all the
pretty pieces to the supportive filigree band.

Voilaa! Headpiece is finished and matching laces added.

Lots of sparkling rhinestones and vintage glass pearls
are mixed with floral metal components.

Pilkupüüdev pea-ehe on valmistatud käsitsi! Kõik sillerdavad kristallist klaaskivid on pandud  ükshaaval pesadesse (kastik) ning koos vintage klaaspärlitega kinnitatud metallist plaadikeste külge. Üdini naiselik ja lilleline - see juukse ehe sobib kaunistama erilistel sündmustel nagu näiteks pulmad, sünnpäev ja lõpetamine! Piltidel näha töö käik ;)
