Today, I have been mostly...

...making fascinators of course!

Recently, I've been focusing on expanding my bridal range. It's really no surprise then that after working with Ivory and White feathers for so long I've caved in today and made this fascinator! With very bright Jade and Sweet Fuchsia Pink feathers surrounding a cluster of little Swarovski crystals to the centre, it's probably going to go in the 'day at the races' gallery of my new website rather than the bridal section! Although it could be popular with the more colourful bridesmaids and if done in bridal colours, maybe even the brides! 

As yet it has not been named. Fascinators are traditionally given girls names, however I have never warmed to the concept of wearing 'The Mildred'. Hence, I prefer to name my fascinators after something a little more obscure...namely Scottish Islands! Looking out my window at home I can see the isles of Jura, Islay and Gigha, so it seemed quite fitting. Plus, if you include the very small uninhabited islands, there's plenty of them so we shouldn't run out of names any time soon...
