It’s Furbelow Friday! No vacations for me, because my brain never shuts off (I’ve tried, believe me) because I love what I do and what the heck, I’ve already scalded my fingertips off years ago, so I’m pleating up a storm today. Dyeing that white sheer to match the silk, this is going to be FUN to make. <3
What is the only thing that these ruffles, pleats, and ruches need? A breeze! <3
You’ll be seeing this in a similar color soon., this is our newest Lily Absinthe design…but I get to keep the blue one. The next phase of designs have new and exciting design treatments! <3
More pictures coming…this is one inspired by my love of Monet’s water lily paintings. Hand painted and gilded flowers and leaves, dyed to match English net, silk taffeta, and one of my antique suites of bridal lace…the bayleuse ( under petticoat train ruffles) are all in a gorgeous vintage watery satin. A good day. ♡
