I was asked to make a pair of earrings like the ones the lamia witch wears in Stardust. There are some pictures of the whole costume here. I love the film, it's one of my favourites, so I agreed and here's my take on them:
It was quite difficult to find all the different materials for them as everything was slightly unusual and certainly not 'off the peg'.
I ended up with a lot of improvising and I think - although the feel of the earrings is similar - they look lovely and different in their own right. I hope to get some images of the finished costume as the earrings are to go with a whole outfit for a big party.Alongside this commission I've also finished the purple polka dot wrist warmers and the silk flower (see previous post) and I've been working on a silk scarf with an intricate leaf lace pattern. However, this scarf keeps being put aside as other projects come up.
Currently I am working on a special secret project for my baby sister. She's going to come next week and stay with us for Easter. I CAN'T wait. It'll be lovely to have her here.

Think you've done a good job there Sybille.
ReplyDeleteI really like those little square thin disc type beads, the green and blue ones.
Hope you have a fun time with your sister.

Really pretty, well done on putting your own twist on recreating them.
