Fit for an Elven Bride

So you may have noticed that I haven't been around too much recently...

Well, it's not because I've not wanted to blog - I really have! But I've had a very important bridal order that I had to have finished as soon as I could so that I could share it with you.

You no doubt remember from my previous blog my dear friend Chaz... Brain a bit foggy? Well here's a picture of the gorgeous girl to jolt your memories....



See? Totally gorgeous right?!

Well this beautiful friend and bride-to-be asked me to make her a special hair comb to wear on her wedding day. I was honoured and took the challenge to make her hair comb something special that she would feel beautiful in.

Now, as always when I make a hair comb, I ask to see pics of the hair trial so I can make sure the width and height of it can work in with the hairdo. So to give you an idea of what I was up against, here is a pic of Chaz's hair trial.



Gorgeous huh?! Well I decided that I was going to go with my gut instinct and do something I've never attempted before with a hair comb. I was going to wire work it.

I have a confession to make. Ever since I first met Chaz, she always reminded me of an elf, a magical creature with mystical powers and a wicked sense of humour. I wanted this hair comb to reflect that. So a hair comb was born - swarovski crystals and glass crystals in curlicues and swirls helped this design happen.

Want to see it?? Silly question!

Before...



Looks pretty boring here doesn't it??

And After...



And from another angle...



And another!



I am really proud of this hair comb. This is something I have never done before, and I am ecstatic with the outcome!

I would love to hear your thoughts on the comb, and as always, if you are looking for something special to wear on your big day, or the races this spring, now is the perfect time to contact me!

I can't wait to bring you more photo's and stories.

Keep warm,

Love Melani xx
