Hello, this is a little bit of a cheat really because I made this tiara quite a while ago but I made it with the intention of showing people one of the ways my beads could be used. So ...... I think it counts? If you are a regular reader of my blog then you will know that I love my sparklies .... swarovski crystals and there are quite a few in this very sparkly tiara.
Whenever I think of weddings I always think of pearls ... and roses. Maybe it is just me? ..... I had some very simple rice pearls so I added these to my crystal mixture and had a quick look through my glass beads to see what else I could find. I had some very pretty pink beads that I had made for a piece of jewellery (now abandoned) and a nice collection of ivory beads that would compliment the pearls. I almost can't help adding something different .... so I also included a couple of lavender beads just to see what would happen ....
I used an enormous amount of wire to make this tiara and lots and lots of twisting and quite a bit of time .... but I enjoyed making it. It is always good to try new things so I had a go at making a couple of hair combes as well.
