This was made from period lace and tidbits from around my studio. I built it up, layer by layer doing most of the work by hand, using the machine when I could. I really like how it came out, even though I know where all of the imperfections are. It’s base is muslin with ivory silk charmeuse from an old shirt as the mounting.
I covered the silk with a tiny tulle netting in black, dotted it with glass beads, added vintage lace and velvet gathered from garage sales throughout the years and topped it off with a huge jet bead medallion. Add a black glass button and voila! Finished!
