Sneak Peak.....
Feb 2, 2010 at 9:14 Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you are all easing back into the week ok, just think only 4 more days until its the weekend! I will be featuring a new artist later in the week, but for now here are a few photos of some new ideas and designs that will be coming this month from Bread N Butter.
So I was recently asked to create a headpiece for a friends wedding and it took me several tries to get it right (sorry Kel Hope I didn't cause you too much stress!) But in the process I learned so much! (Thanks for the push Kel) through all the experimenting and research I learned how to take components and thoughts of other designs I found and make them my own signature style. I try never to underestimate the importance of looking at other artists work, I find it fundamental to the evolution of my own! and I now finally realize why all my teachers in were ALWAYS giving me names of others artists to look at that shared the same concepts as me! Good to know that education is finally paying off!!!
I am still working out the details of attaching this particular piece, but my thoughts are adding it to a headband covered in satin ribbon somehow. The two blue flowers are made from ultra-light polymer clay which is literally as light as paper, pretty amazing stuff, and the cream rose is fabric. I then incorporated a few sparkly beads in there too for a little shine and dramatic effect.
I know the photos aren't the greatest, I really didn't intend for them to be used, but I thought what the heck!
So please let me know what you think! I am looking for advice on attaching them as well as your intial thoughts! So please leave me your comments below. I hope to have this piece and many other new items available on my Etsy shop by the end of the week.
Also be sure to check back on Thursday for my featured artist of the week. Hint, hint, it will be a Joyous occasion!
Thanks for stopping by.
A presto

I think they are abs beautiful. It's so cool to see these after hearing you talk about them...I hope I can see them tonight! Good work! Its just amazing how much BreadnButter is constantly evolving- Sooo amazing!
I am constantly amazed at your creativity and growth! I love the new pieces and can't wait to see it all come together! Be sure to get a photo of the bride so we can see it in full effect too :)
Brava!
Thanks Ladies! I guess I should have mentioned that this is a piece that came out of the research and experimenting, not the piece the bride will actually be wearing. Sometimes I forget that just because it makes sense in my head, doesn't mean it makes sense! ;-) I will post a photo of the bride and her piece though very soon.
