A few weeks ago we did a photo shoot in my garden with photographer Ted Mishima and model Azelle Chang. It was the first time in many months that we got together to collaborate and it was such a treat to be working together again.

A couple of years ago I had seen a picture of a beautiful delicate fascinator that was designed by a talented jeweler. I was intrigued by the shape and figured out how to create the base and then decorated it with delicate birds nest ferns, pansies, violas, blossoms of allium christophii, blueberries and ripsalis.

It was delightful to wrap the long scarf,made with midollino sticks and bind wire and decorated with delicate botanicals, in so many different ways. We loved all the different options!

The mask/headpiece was decorated with gorgeous clematis, pansies  columbines and many seasonal textures.
