I was recently asked to make some new headpieces for an upcoming competition (Youth America Grand Prix) for one of our girls. She is doing two variations from Swan Lake. So here I was faced with another challenge and very unsure of how I was going to accomplish this headpiece. It can be very nerve wracking at times because you can't always get inside the choreographers head and see their vision. So after researching the heck out of Black Swan tiaras this is what I came up with. I am very pleased and so was the mom, daughter and teacher :) I really enjoyed making these two headpieces. So much so that I have now decided to add to my jewelry business "Tiny Lotus Tiaras and Headpieces". My friend promised me some professional shots of her daughter wearing the headpieces. I can not wait!
This floral headpiece was made by watching a tutorial on Youtube. I could not believe how easy and how fun! I started with white flowers and used silk flower spray paint to match the color of her costume.
This next headpiece was done for another friend of mine whose daughter is doing a jazz piece wearing a black sequined flapper style costume. This one is all handbeaded...I got a little carried away. It took me 5 hrs to do! I also have a request to do 6 more headpieces for one of our teams. They too will be made with red and black feathers. I will post more pics soon. :)
