Headpieces!

[Mermaid Jewel]

I get kinda excited when I make something new. I just HAD to share this one though...it's the first design I've done that had more than one piece of wire (normally I just twist the wire circle and add jewels). I was originally going to paint it silver but I like it green. Will be experimenting with rhinestones and glass beads tomorrow!

That's beautiful! Does it stay on well while you're swimming?

[Cordelia]

Love the shape! It will definitely look awesome with a bit of sparkle!

I'm not actually sure. I've never swum with it, though with some crossed bobby pins, I'm sure it'll stay.

It looks great!

[Kanti]

Wow! It looks really cute!!
I like how it's so simple yet very flattering!
You did a really good job with the design :')

Ooh, very lovely. :> What is it that colored it green?

The wire was wrapped in green floral tape. In fact, it keeps much of it together lol.

Here's another one I made today with glass beads. I was thinking about selling them but I can't ship them, cause the wire is still really easily malleable...

Another pic of the first one and a hair jewel strand thing...I got lazy and didn't finish stringing the beads on it cause all I had was glass beads and seed beads. I was testing to see if the hair thing worked before I went and bought beads for them :)

very nice

[Mermaid Jewel]

Thanks everyone :)

Here's another gypsy/pirate hair jewel thing I did and a better picture of the other one. I love these things! I wore them to the mall today :) The new one has a medallion at the bottom and wood & shell beads, so it's more of a beach-y, pirate-y one :D

I also found out, tying a little ponytail under the top layer of your hair then sticking the clip through that will keep it in place. I was throwing my head, running, and it didn't fall out. I wish I had black clips though, so when the hair moves the clip wouldn't be too obvious, but I can easily fix that later.

I love your headpieces! So elfin :) If you're worried about malleability, may I introduce my favorite source of cheap, sturdy wire... the coat hanger. Holds shape like a dream and then you could still wrap it for your signature look! I use coat hangers for circlets, fairy wings, maybe flukes in the future... It's my stand-by in case of lack of heavy craft wire haha.

I love the elven-inspired one! How lovely :)

Har har har, i use coathangers too, the cheap wire ones work great for just about anything! Lol finally found someone else using them, so I now know im not crazy , or we're both nuts lol
