Since making Alicia’s amazing metal headpiece I’ve had a lot of people asking me to make more. I’ve been playing around with vintage chain link, and strings of pearls I had squirreled away in my supply drawers. These are just a few simple ones with more elaborate pieces on the way! Keep posted!

Can’t wait to have this styled and photographed!

Again, I had the pleasure working with a fantastic client, Alicia. We met at the Queen West Art Crawl in September and she was so excited to have found me. She had grand ideas for her wedding headpiece and I was just the one to create something beautiful and unique. I created this fantastic metal headpiece from an old swag belt and two vintage metal link necklaces. I was so happy with it I really had a hard time giving to Alicia!

A few years ago while doing an outdoor art show here in Toronto I bumped into Heather. Years ago she and I took the same sculpture class together while in University and at the art show she ended up falling in love with one of my headpieces and taking it home. A year or so later Heather and James got engaged and I got an e-mail asking if I could make her another beautiful feather headpiece for her wedding. I was thrilled, we met for drinks, caught up and had a good time brainstorming ideas. She was a dream client and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Simple and Beautiful!!!!
