DIY: Black on Black headpiece

I just dawned on me that I used to make everything on flowers when my friend called me for a request of a flower headpiece or  flower bracelet for a party on Saturday night.
Then I remember this was the first flower headpiece and most popular headpiece I made for someone

I'm having a fond fascination with feathers more than ever this season.
This headpiece was the first headpiece that I actually made... well not actually the first
I made like 5 of these Toucan Sam headpieces in the past year... some for gifts... some adopted by others

DIY: Bird Nest

Happy Thursday!! Having a random thought, but Tuesdays and Thursdays seem so random. Like there is nothing super exciting about them other then BWW on Tuesday...But that's another story.

Feathers and fur are staples for the winter... Especially for staying warm. I decided after playing around with materials, to make a feather headband.
