Garden Lady #8 - Fall Princess - Part 8 - FINAL

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).
