Collaboration
Hellebores
Designed by nature
Free machine petals
Made by Gina
Tiny pearl, peridot and silver stamens
made by me
The result:
A combination of textile and jewels to add the finishing touch to an outfit
I sold one last weekend and there are two left - available at Gina’s Open Studio this weekend, and my second opening next weekend. We have more ideas - necklaces of little flowers with leaves of silver and garnet berries….brooches with clusters of small flowers…little flower earrings. The possibilities are endless.
For those of you who read both our blogs - apologies, this is old news, it’s just that, well, we’re very excited about working together!
Thankyou so much for your concern about little P - her croup didn’t last long, thankfully, and she’s just left with a bit of a husky voice like Edith Piaf.

That’s such a wicked idea - you clever girl!!!!
I can just see one of those as a fascinator or hat decoration - lovely!
I wonder what other flowers you’ll use for inspiration?

This idea is lovely, they do look beautiful. Looking forward to seeing further collaborations.

Delightful! I shall be very interested to see what you collaborate on next!

Glad to hear Tiny Pebble is better but how strange that croup should leave her with a French accent!
Am v. interested in the results of collaboration. You know, Christmas is just over 5 months away.

Sorry to hear about little pebble being ill, glad she is on the mend. Also another sorry I didn’t make it on Sat to your open studio - we had an incident with Imogen and a bee and I was at work on the Sunday. Hope to make your next one and see these gorgeous things in person. Oohhhh bums at not winning your lovely competition - I will have to keep saving my pennies to buy some of your other lovely things.

Laughing my head off at Trash’s comment re the french accent! Don’t you just love the humour that flies through the ether????
A lovel collaboration between two very talented people……. :O)

And even more gorgeous in real life! SO lovely to see you both today, and I hope I didn’t put you off your lunch with the oily smell!
July 16th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
Yes, I did see this at Gina’s — it’s gorgeous. You two are so clever! (And you have some very funny commenters!)
July 16th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Lovely to see you today. I am SO excited by these and the idea of future projects.
July 16th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
as i said to Gina, you are two very talented ladies!!

What lovely flower brooches, I love combining jewels and fabric. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a kind word re: Lily-it helped. Lorrie

Absolutely gorgeous! I love them so much! Lucy xxx

Beautiful! You and Gina will have a great future working together.
I’m sorry to hear your daughter was poorly but I’m glad to hear she’s on the mend now. Hope you have a good weekend.
July 16th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
I look forward to your next project together. This one has been so lovely.

What a winning combination, congratulations to you both.

I have just been looking at them on GHinas…just lovely…poppies would be lovely two dramatic red and black …. you are both very clever and very talented
July 18th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
You two are genius! Stunning.
July 19th, 2010 at 12:27 am
Stunning. Just stunning!
July 19th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Just a thimbleful….
I’ve just told Gina how stunning I think they are - clever ladies ! Done my two Open Studio weekends, exciting but tiring. First weekend was a washout because of the heat but this weekend was good. It is great fun meeting people, isn’t it?

A wonderful collaboration! x
July 19th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
These are beautiful, the hellebore colours are so subtle but these are just right. What a lovely idea! Penny x
July 19th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
I’m sitting here on my own, and I let out an audible gasp when I saw the finished hellebore.
That’s a gasp of admiration, not horror, btw! Those are really, really beautiful.
July 20th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Wow! Absolutely stunning collaboration - I can’t wait to see what you both come up with next.
Sorry to hear Tiny P has been poorly - croup is really not nice
She could do a good line in husky baby voice-overs now though!

This are stunning - such a perfect marriage of yours and Gina’s beautiful designs - I hope you make lots more. Glad little P is doing better - that must be such a relief for you.
July 20th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Those lovely hellebores are just gorgeous. You are both so talented. Hope the Open Studios went (or is still going) well. I love visiting our local open studios. One year I might try it myself. Love your garden too. Such a lot of pretty flowers and colour.

These are just beautiful.
