Great photos, great reviews

Got some lovely photos sent by two brides along with some lovely comments about the items they created with eiledon.co.uk

The beautiful Gemma had the Cynthia Side tiara created in topaz Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pearls to match in with her fiancée's waist coat.

 

 

The lovely Hayley had the Hayley bouquet made for her (and named after her) from organza, in purple, to match her bridesmaids outfits.  I'm sure you'll agree, she looks stunning!

 

 

I love to see the brides looking beautiful.

 

Enjoy xx

 

 

So much to do.....so little time!

Just created some more pieces for up and coming spring fairs.

Now just got to photograph them.

Managed to sell some of the pieces without even getting to the photography stage!

A bead fair coming up and missed deadline on adding my tattoo inspired bouquet to the feature list in Wedding Ideas magazine as I couldn't find my swallows.....only to find them a week later!

Now just got to change them to silver and then put the bouquet together.

Think I'll call it Vivienne in honour of Vivienne of Holloway as their dresses (and the models) are the inspiration behind this latest bouquet.

Now if only I could get all the pieces together to get it finished.....

Featured again!

In May's edition of Wedding Ideas Magazine I will again be featured. 

They set the task of completing something in this summer's 'hot' colours and so I completed amongst other things this brooch with a crocodile clip meaning you could wear it in your hair instead.

 

After this month though I will have to go back to facebook and blogging as it is my last month with the magazine, but I have plenty more ideas!

One of my brides....

After getting a lovely photograph from Gemma, I have finally managed to get one sent on a disc as I have been unable to scan the original photo to use on the web.

Here is the lovely Gemma wearing the Cynthia Side Tiara.

This week I have been asked to produce more bridal items to go with the following themes:  chocolate, mint, love birds and pewter.

Going to add this one to the collection and now to produce more items to show...

It's been a long "busy" while

I've realised (to my horror) that it has been some time since I last posted.

I have been advertising in Wedding Ideas Magazine and have been making more things for new brides who have found Eiledon.

This year the colours are going to be hot and so we are currently working to the new season

Here is our interpretation:

Three hand made satin ribbon roses sitting side by side on a hair comb

 

 

 These hand curled organza roses have 160 petals per flower and can either be worn in the hair using the crocodile clip or as a brooch using the brooch bar.  The pink flower has orange Swarovski crystals in the centre whilst the orange flower has pink Swarovski crystals in the centre.

Want to wear the flower as a wrist corsage then this one has been attached to a contrasting colour and being Eiledon, any colour combinations can be made.

Facebook

Had pictures professionally photographed after I was told by numerous friends and customers that 'my photos didn't do my items justice'

Had a lesson on Facebook and now uploading various new photos of my designs.

Some are now uploaded onto the website http://eiledon.co.uk

Some items on Facebook are not yet on the website so keep checking both.

Still working on my tattoo inspired bouquet which will feature a dozen red satin ribbon roses, a banner of love accross the centre, swallows and anchors and featured in a black wire 'collar'

Will start and upload this project in the next few days.

Time out

Taken some time out to look at where I am and where I'm going....

Got some exciting new ideas for buquets including one to go with the fab Vivienne of Holloway dresses and will be inspired by tattoos!!!!

Spent some time in Norfolk with my lovely family and tried metal detecting on the beach, but didn't even find an old bottle top!!!

As Christmas is fast approaching (yes I used the C word) I have been concentrating on my day and evening jewellery and it has been selling faster than I can make it so with craft fairs fast approaching, I am going to have to get my skates on and put off some of my new ideas until later.

Got to go, I can feel a big bead and crystal order coming on....feels like Christmas already!
