First flower for the spring

Première fleur du printemps

Back to basics... Aluminum and brass to form a flower and its leaf on a pin. 

I like how the flower is minimal and yet rustic, not too polished, not too neat... or so I hope, because I've got a problem with the polished, it seems I'm flirting with it and yet I don't like the neatness. I can't do neatness, and I struggle against it....Psychoanalysis my friend, it's all linked to my mother, of course, she was always pursuing me saying I had to tidy myself, I always, and still, have something "wrong" -she would say- in my look or in what I produce... but enough self-prospection for today... The following for the next session!!!

Retour à mes premières amours, les fleurs et l'aluminium. Simple. 

Une fleur pour le printemps! :)

It's riveted to the pin device (for my friends of the Blah blah blah forum initiated by dear and talented Fanci)

A bouquet of bun hair pins. Some fabulous vintage silk beads, dove gray and shimmering, with faceted vintage sequin and handmade silvery leaves. Just perfect to ornate your next hair chignon!

Epingle à chignon...hair fork

First pictures of the newborn hair fork! I'm proud of it, yes I am ><
The pictures aren't good but I wanted to show off now!
It's made of reclaimed aluminum, hammered and etched by me, a vintage crochet piece embroidered on the metal.

Voici les premières images de la dernière épingle à chignon que j'ai terminée ce matin. J'en suis fière, je le dis haut et fort.
Aluminium martelé et gravé par mes petites mains, épingle formée à la main aussi, pièce de crochet ancienne rebrodée sur le métal, et voilà!
