When make-up artist Katherine Sealy sent me a video showing how to use a recycled plastic bottle to design the base for these eye decorations, I had to give it a try. So fun how it turned out after decorating it with snippets of moss, hyacinth blossoms, succulents and small rex begonia leaves.

I had planned on designing the base of a necklace with a short and very long piece of aluminum wire; the area around the neck was decorated with foliage of hyacinths and bird’s nest fern and a few hyacinth blossoms.; I slid dozens of hyacinth blossoms over the long piece of aluminum wire and added a few stems of seastar fern. When we turned the long piece 180 degrees, we liked it much better as a hair decoration.
