Project Tiara

Step One: Materials Acquisition

I volunteered to make a tiara for my sister for her upcoming wedding. Yesterday I went on a little shopping trip to add to my bead supply and get a few extra things. Who knew that this...

was such a difficult thing to find. I have removed the white headband so I am working with just the comb. Next, starting to build the wire "crown".

My bead collection for this project is mostly in the frosted/white/clear range, but I am adding purple and warm coppery amber to the mix for the base so it has some color. Her flowers are all warm autumn colors and we, the bridesmaids, are in deep eggplant purple, so I am working with those colors in mind.

Please post progress for us to see.
A unique work of art, I'm sure.
Also note except for Rachel, all of you are bridesmadams or bridesmrs or something.

i"m not sure my other half would approve of the Bride having a madam.....kinda defeats the title of bride doesn't it?

Becka, I just invited you to be my friend on We Love Etsy. I scrolled down to the tira (sp) to see the start. It is beautiful. Very nice work.
