More pieces for the English Dept.

Aw! Many more lovely pieces for the English Dept. shop in Portland, OR. It took a little longer than I estimated, but I have some lovely new designs! There are more that I haven't photographed here, but if you are in the Portland area and in need of a hair piece, be sure to visit the English Dept.!

There are a couple of my new handmade headbands above. I hand wrap them with silk and grosgrain and they are whisper light. In case you don't live in the Portland area, I'm making a few of the styles available through my etsy shop HERE, HERE, and HERE (more to be listed later).

NEW! English Rose Collection :: In my Etsy shop

I just finished listing a lovely new Twigs & Honey Collection: The English Rose Collection. I love the softness and vintage look of English Roses. Just like real roses, these ones are all one of a kind and unique. No two will be alike. I have hand dyed, hand painted, and hand sewn them with brooch pin and hair clip backings so you can wear them in your hair, clothes, purse, belt, wherever! Enjoy!

Here are all your choices:

Wear them in your hair:

Wear one or a ton!

Wear one on your jacket:

Or wear many on your jacket:

Or just let them sit there so you can enjoy all the prettiness:

New velvet crush

I'm just a little hooked on and excited about velvet right now. Why? I don't know, but if pressed on the question, I guess it's because it has a vintage feel about it. I like the the weight and thickness as well. It creates lovely durable and substantial head pieces. Expect to see many more velvet pieces soon. Here's the latest:

Milky Way
Hand dyed and handmade silk velvet and silk organza flower.
Thank you so much, everyone, for your sweet comments on my previous post. I'm SO happy that you like the new work. That really keeps me going! I "treated" myself to a shower this morning... ha ha! I don't look like such a grease ball in these latest photos. ;)

What a week!

It has been an insanely busy week, so I do apologize for the light blog posts! I didn't get dressed up once this week... I have been in sweats every single day, so no outfit posts. So sorry! I am also a little behind on messages and orders and am staying up late tonight again to catch up. So hang tight!
What the heck have I been up to this week? WELL... I have been building a brand new website from scratch...
I had a couple medical things to attend to...
I had two photo shoots to create pieces for...
Fulfilling orders...
And every once and a while... I sleep a little. ;)
I jokingly wrote to my sister that I only showered twice this week. I know, I know! Ew~ So not lady like! But it's been that busy. I figure that saves me about 1 hour. So for all the lovely blog readers, here's a sneak peak at some new pieces I worked on this week for the shoots...

Hand dyed silk, handmade flowers, berry accents

For a country bride, hand dyed silks and linen flowers
And introducing my new Velvet line:

Luxurious hand dyed silk velvet... all handmade. Each petal is handwired so you can bend into place as you please. This particular piece also features vintage velvet paper wired leaves. More velvet pieces to come!

treasury

I never made an Etsy Treasury before... isn't that funny? I've been on Etsy for a while now and never took the time to figure it out. Yesterday, I decided to give it a go... and some spots just opened up. Visit my Treasury HERE.

It includes so many of my Etsy favorites!
Maybe, it will make the Front Page? It expires tomorrow evening, so be sure to view it before it's gone. Myra's Treasury

Mixing it up

Holidays wore me out! I'm still recovering from all the traveling. Just to mix it up a bit, I created a festive shrug and vest. The shrug would be perfect for a bride or for a special occasion. The vest would be great over your favorite tank or shirt. I found a great metallic jacquard fabric a couple weeks ago and finally found a good use for it. Enjoy!

Shrug

Vest
I made these in xs-s, but if you need a different size, get in touch. I still have enough fabric to make a few more. :)

New pieces in the Etsy shop

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
Just to kick off the week, I've created a couple new designs for the Etsy shop.

Blushing Bouquet

Flower Burst

This design comes in pairs and you can choose two of the same color or mix and match. Enjoy!

New pieces in the Etsy shop

I have a few new pieces for the Etsy shop... a bit of a random mix, but each is very unique and oh-so-much fun!

Double lux

I found the yummiest, softest, prettiest silk fabric over the weekend and had to fashion it into something. Fruit Punch

This one is fun... you can braid or weave the metallic threads into your hair for a subtle and romantic accent.

Golden Threads

Veils, veils, veils

I just added several veils to my Etsy shop that are ready to ship, so no waiting if you're in need of a veil asap. Enjoy!

Birdcage veil

Illusion tulle blusher veil

And my favorite... a convertible blusher/headband tulle veil

Love that beaded cashmere shrug? It's by Elizabeth Dye... a b-day gift from the hubby last year.
