Q
Do you accept commissions for crowns?
A
Yes i do, i am quite happy to undertake projects for weddings, proms, parties and even for things like christening gifts. prices will vary according to size/style and materials. different styles of crown (previous orders or crowns i have sold already) can be seen HERE in the crown gallery. i would need at least a months notice to make a crown from scratch. please feel free to email me if you would like to commission a piece or ask more questions about this sort of thing!
Q
How are they made?
A
I make them using a variety of wire - copper or silver plated with some coloured wire (all coloured wire is colored copper wire) and a mixture of beads. anything can be woven into a crown, i generally use some gemstone (crystal) beads eg. amethyst, plastic, ceramic, wooden and glass beads. i also have been known to use charms, silk flowers and leaves etc. the whole crown is woven together.
Q
How do you wear them?
A
All the crowns have little fabric 'loops' stiched to the bottom, which are used with hair pins or grips to attached the crown to your hair. they work best when your hair is up or in little buns or bunches, to give you somethig to grip into. the crowns are fairly flexable so you can bend the points of them down as you wish.
