Hello
Vintage doilies are usually near to hand for me, most often as a background for photographs but also, using torn pieces in projects or some ear-rings I made (need to check back as I cannot remember if I shared the ear-rings on my Blog). It was around the time of completing the ear-rings that I still wanted to play with doilies, that’s when the idea of hairband and hairclips came into my mind. Along with the vintage doilies, which would meet the criteria for Greencraft magazine, I also worked with beautiful re-cycled silk sari ribbon and old buttons. I was so very happy when Greencraft contacted me with an article request for the hairbands and hairclips, with the article appearing in the summer issue of Stampington & Co’s Greencraft magazine.
The set consists of three hairbands and two hairclips, all with a distinctly vintage air to them.
The ox-blood colours brings a nice contrast amongst the ivory tones.
The same handful of supplies were used throughout, playing around with placement.
This is the detail on the third hairband – only a detail because I didn’t take a photo of this hairband, by itself.
The motifs were all treated the same way to provide stability, no floppy motifs!
I do love a sweet vintage button!
Thank You so much for your visit to this post. I hope you are all having a lovely week and crucially, lots of art time.
Wishes
Lynne

Absolutely darling, Lynne! And so chic! These would sell like hotcakes around here! Such incredible beauty and so perfect for Green Craft! I am so happy for you getting those in Stampington’s magazine that highlights recycling our resources. Your addition of the sweet vintage buttons really are the tios! (So to speak! ;).

Oh Lynne! These are yet another example of your amazing talents! They look as though they are on display in a fine Edwardian store! The combination of the colours is perfect! Hugs, Chrisx

These hairbands are beautiful, you are so talented Lynne, I’m not surprised the magazine wanted to do an article on them.

So adorable they are, dear Lynne, love the little lace/button flowers you added to them, and the different materials turned around the hairbands , makes them so different. Congratulations with them being published , they surely deserved it, and they are simply belonging in the Green Craft mag.
Have a lovely day – xxx
