This is a continuation of 7 previous posts about the making of Garden Lady #8. After I pinned the leaves on the top, I hand sewed them down the middle with beading thread. It was mentally hard to cover up things that had already been done, especially the dress. So, I resisted pinning leaves on top of he dress. But, I wanted it to look like she was wading through a pile of leaves and they had to go on top. I also added stitching, both hand and machine to the bouquet.
The final embellishment was on the fascinator. I added a couple of chukar feathers from our collection, ribbons, and hot fix crystals.
I added a regular binding. And then blinged it up with more hot fix crystals.
It's all done!
I hope you like it - my Fall Princess.
(Note: My husband raised chukars for a couple of years and the feathers were collected from their cage. They are a small game bird).
