It's been a while! Finally now that I am past mum season and past all the holidays, I can now start putting my uploads back on my blog! Right now I am starting to get ready for the 2012 Homecoming Mum and Garter season and have actually had some mum orders here in January and for February Homecomings! But first - I wanted to share a few photos of some of the latest creations - unfortunately I was so busy I wasn't able to take photos of all my mums and garters from this season but I will try to do better this year! So this is going to be a few posts - first let's start with the Garters!
Honestly I have to say I truely love all my mums and garters. I put so much time and attention to detail into making these as amazing as possible. I just don't do mediocre! (Type A personality - I know) But with that said, I do still have my favorites and this is one of them.
This Flower Mound senior garter was done as a match to a triple mum and they wanted the bear to have a marching band hat. I made this one out of plastic and painted it white then covered it in white felt and did a silver cord trim detail - added the little "bib" to the front of the hat and stuck a feather in the top. I was so happy with the outcome!! Here is a picture of the whole thing:
This next one is one of my other favorites from this last year. I made custom lettering for most of my mums and garters this year - but this one turned out so cute with the boa around the top and the senior 2012! This one was a Senior Flower Mound garter as well.
Both the girl this was from and the guy this was to played soccer - so in addition to the jerseys with their names and numbers on them I accented with a lot of soccer stuff too!
Now this - well this monster of a garter is a double garter for a senior at Flower Mound! And it was just WOW - huge and had so much stuff on it!! The picture isn't very good of the whole thing but it did take a good close up picture of the top!
These next few were Flower Mound High School Junior Garters
I really need to take a picture of them wearing these so you can see how big they are - they really are MEGA garters!
Another Senior Garter here - baseball themed!
This is a senior garter that was made to match a QUAD MEGA Mum I made - it has a tiny bit of turquoise added to it!
OH WAIT!!! I DO HAVE A PICTURE OF THEM WEARING IT! This is a picture of one of the QUAD Mega Mums I made with the matching garter being worn by both the guy and girl!!
