Flowers and Mirror Tiles

Kim orders a beanie and gloves for her daughter as well as a mosaic cross for herself.

I was actually so apprehensive to make the pieces for her daughter because I usually make things for adults so I had to slightly adjust the pattern for the goodies to fit Jade.

Kim made me jump out of the mould and requested different things from the norm so this was a pretty cool order for me to do and I adore the colours I got to use.

Kim's Mirror Cross:

Kim's cross hanging up (for display purposes). I used gorgeous green and white organza ribbon to hang it from. Complements the blue so well!

Isn't that the most gorgeous blue, glitter tiles ever? I absolutely adore them! Kim asked that I close the side edges of her cross so I had to cut the tile in half so that a half could fit on each side as well as on the top and the bottom. I also tried to echo the feeling of the cross and that's why I used whole mirror tiles in the middle as well.

 

The back of Kim's cross.

I decided to do the back of the cross in a dark sapphire blue. I pained a layer of green under the blue and once the blue dried I sanded it so only peeks of the green shines through. You can't really see it on the photograph though… looks more like lighter spots. The sides of the cross (which you can't see) I only used one coat of blue and then sanded that to give it a bit of an "aged" look.

I was initially apprehensive about the  colours but I can genuinely say that I love the colours I chose for the ribbon and the back of the cross. This is really one of the most gorgeous crosses I've ever had the pleasure of making for a client.

 

Creations for Jade:

Jade's silver grey gloves with pink stars.

When I initially made these gloves I made the one, one row too short. Don't ask me how that happened LOL but I fixed it and they are absolutely ROCKING!

I love these gloves. The flowers I sewed on so that the petals are lose. It gives a different and super cool effect!

Jade's beanie also in silver grey with a pink flower and pink center bead.

The beanie I didn't need to adjust so much because Jade has a head the same size as me. The flower I was so apprehensive about because I usually only put bows on puff-stitch beanies but I mean come on how rocking did this flower come out on the beanie! It just rocks!! I think the little bead gives it such a cute little pop!

 

Thank you Kim for the support. It was an immense pleasure to do these creations for you! I hope both you and Jade love your goodies :)
