Day 7 - Cant always make a winner...

Not every headband I make is going up in my Etsy shop. This is one of those headbands. I simply don't think it meets my standards for my shop. I kinda think it's.... well... ugly lol. I blame it on my work schedule yesterday. I work outside of my home on Mondays and didn't get back until late. Honestly, the last thing I wanted to do was make a headband. But I made a commitment. Tomorrows band will be much better :)

Day 6 - Lovely in Lavender

This was my first time making these round flowers (there's a name of them, I just can't think of it). I had no idea initially where I was going with this piece,  I just knew that I wanted to make these flowers. I noticed there was no purple in my collection of headbands yet. I've had this birdcage netting laying around for months now wondering what to do with it., and I'm happy I finally found use for it. The purple in the picture isn't exactly accurate to the actual piece, which is more of a bright royal purple and a shimmery lavender.

Day 5 - Modern Cowgirl


This lovely headband is sprinkled will all kinds of southern sweetness. From the lace bow to the brown fringes, it's sure to bring out to the cowgirl!
I've been trying to use those brown fringes for a long time now, I'm very happy they've finally found a home with this gorgeous mauve ruffled flower. I've never been a fan of mauve, or any color resembling pink; but add a little blue in there and it really brightens the whole headpiece up.

Day 4- Classy Little Lady

  


        Today I had a bit of a creative block. I kept jumping from idea to idea, from color to color. Needless to say, this headband took an exceptional amount of time. I'm really happy with the outcome considering it took me literally an hour to settle on the color scheme alone. Classy, right? I think so anyhow.
        I noticed something today during my big creative block; I can't plan the day before for what kind of style or colors I'm going to use tomorrow. Does that make sense? I'm like that with clothes too. I never end up wearing the clothes I picked out the night before. There's just something different about me the next day that doesn't seem to go with that outfit, no matter how much I liked it the previous evening. My problem today when making a headband was that I was stuck on my ideas from yesterday.  It was down right frustrating!  What is even more frustrating is that I have even more ideas for tomorrows headband, I guess we'll find out how they'll clash with tomorrows ideas lol.

Day 3 - Ice Cold!!

      Baby it's cold outside, well... kinda, it's cold for South Florida. Some of my Northern Friends might laugh at me; but as soon as the temp hits 70 degrees, the heater goes on. All this cold weather has gotten to my brain and is coming out in my headbands, I'm just loving the "ice-cold" look to this one. 
        The Tiffany-blue fabric flower measures 2 in by 2 in. Horizontally from end-to-end it measures 4 3/4 inches.

New Headband Everyday!


"Like" SkylyLove on Facebook 



        So, to challenge myself this year, I've decided to create a new headband every day for the next 100 days.  Every headband that I post will be up for grabs in my Etsy shop, SkylyLove. Make sure to get it while it's hot, as it will be a one of a kind! Once it's gone it's GONE.
          This first headband consists of my absolute favorite color scheme, black and turquoise. I love how the polka-dots add a little bit of an old-time 40's look with the help of the feathers; while the turquoise gives it a more modern look. Laid over the fabric flowers are 2 buttons I just happened to find in my abundant collection. The black and clear button is in very short supply, I only have 2 left and found it in a "grandma's button bag" I got at Michaels 5 years ago. The 2 flower pieces together, measure 4 in. by 2 1/4 in. the 2 feathers protrude another inch from the side.
