Mainly because, there really isn't anything spectacular about the creation of these accessories. The photos above should give you a sufficient look into the 'behind the scenes' process of my 'label' (notice how they're in inverted commas, so please don't expect anything Chanel fashion studio worthy).
Let me spell it out for you simply:
1. I don't own a studio. I make my crowns on the same table in which I do my homework and I store my spare flowers in an unwanted suitcase.
2. It's not a tedious task. An episode of Skins or Revenge should see you to the completion of one crown. For best results, I put on my hour long playlist of Lana Del Rey (on repeat of course). She really does set the mood.
3. Once they're done, I go to Australia Post who sends it out in one of those (iconic) brown parcels.
I do just want to thank all of my followers who has supported this hobby turned business either through the amazing comments or the purchase of a crown. I love that fuzzy feeling after knowing that a parcel is heading towards an eager customer. It also thrills me to be messaged that I've made somebody day brighter and happier. This store has personally opened up a lot of doors; it's now stocked in a Brisbane boutique called Rocket Science (shop HERE) and my Etsy picture has been chosen as the (for the lack of a better word) face for an event in L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2013 (see HERE).
Thank you all again!

They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou say they're not difficult to make, but I don't think that's true! I know I could never even attempt such art.
ReplyDelete"An episode of Skins or Revenge should see you to the completion of one crown" hahahah. Made me laugh aloud. Love Skins, Revenge too. Guilty little pleasure episodes.
You did such a wonderful job photographing the creation process, and I aboslutely love how you have them next to your laptop. Such an interesting juxtaposition of utilitarian and whimsical beauty.
Saw your comment on TMR and just had to come to your blog. You literally made me laugh out loud (again). You have no idea how many looks of hers I've tried to "recreate", and "failed miserably".
Cheers!
