This special crown was a commission for

Vey is a member of - a charity working to defend the River Wye and restore the river’s health - and Vey’s role is to be the ceremonialist for the Goddess of the Wye during events that help raise awareness for our rivers 💙
When she’s representing Lady Wye, Vey wears an amazing headdress that includes a swan surrounded by a nest-like crown.

My brief was to create a new crown that would work with or without the swan (so it needed to be adjustable) and to incorporate plants and flowers that were representative of the river and riverside. Vey wanted it to look like a nest that had flowers woven into it rather than a traditional flower crown.

The base is made from willow and grasses. I dried vibrant yellow marsh marigold flowers (from my own pond), green water crowfoot foliage (also from my pond) and willow leaves for decoration. Ammobium flowers were used to represent the delicate white flowers of water crowfoot (Ranunculus aquatilis) which is a vital part of the river’s ecosystem. Visit Vey’s account to see photos of her in her new crown and find out more about the important work she does 💚

I really enjoyed making this - thank you Vey 🌿

I’ll share more about how I created the crown in a separate post 🌸

The pink and purple in this mobile were just right for photographing next to two pieces of floral art by my family… the photo at the top by my sister and the watercolour below by my grandmother. Two images I treasure and always have on display 💕

The purple tulip petals were inspired by who recently created a lovely display with her own dried tulip petals so many thanks to Gudrun for the idea 😊

Making the most of short stemmed flowers 💙 I always save the side shoots and trimmed bits because they’re perfect for using in mini designs. Even better when I have the chance to tuck in a bit of beautiful blue hydrangea 🩵

A pink meadow 🌸

I ran out of my heavier two-tone twine right before I made this hoop so opted for a very fine natural-toned twine. I think it adds a touch more delicacy to this small hoop (it’s only 8 inches) - what do you think?

It’s currently hanging at Charlotte Keating Art Gallery in Newent as part of the ‘Flourish’ exhibit until 16 May

I’ve not yet added these bespoke hoops to my website but in the meantime please do DM me if you’re interested in purchasing one 🌸

Wishing you a lovely Thursday 💕

There’s a new collection of dried flower jam jar arrangements in my shop 🧡

My parents used to fill these pretty little jars with the most delicious blackberry preserves made from what we picked at the back of my childhood garden. I don’t make as much jam as I’d like to these days, but it seems a shame to hide the jars away, so I thought I’d give them another life and fill them with lovely dried flowers instead. Each one is with hand-dyed ribbon to turn it into a special gift 🩷

I so enjoyed making these and would love to send them off to new homes ☺️ You can find them following the link to my shop below
