New Ways to Wear an Old Brooch, Part III
A quickie for crafty readers this Tuesday:
Isn't this photo of Julie Andrews, courtesy of Doctor Macro's High Quality Movie Scans, just extraordinary?
And how stunning is that headdress, made, so simply, of wired feather trim and a beautiful 30s brooch . . .
If you have the time and inclination, visit a crafts shop or have a look online for a similar wired trim (keywords wire, ribbon, millinery supply). See what you can fashion with a few twists and an old vintage find . . .
Make two, please, and we'll wear them to Le Festin when you return. Happy autumn! xo JL
