 Recently I have added a couple of new stunning roses to my portfolio. One of them is this large beauty.

Made of unusual Japanese velvet (100% cotton) with a very short pile the rose is sure to be the highlight of an evening outfit. The flower is painted by hand and can be made in other colours.

All the petals as well as the leaves are doubled with silk organza which gives the rose its beautiful shape and makes it more durable than other silk flowers.

The rose can be finished with a brooch base, a headband or another finding of your choice.

To order the flower please visit my Etsy shop here.

Lilac rose brooch

I must admit I like the idea of a beautiful silk flower accentuating a wedding dress sash. Painted by hand to match a wedding colour scheme it stands out against the white or cream froth of a bridal gown and yet complements the theme.

Hand made using a specialist technique the rose brooch is more durable than you might think yet delicate and beautiful, which makes it a great accessory even after your W-day. Wear it with a romantic outfit and it will always remind you of one really special day in your life.

I am continuing my experiments with genuine leather, this rich and pliable material, great for making floral accessories.
As a part of my new capsule collection I have created 2 leather roses, different in size and shape.
The new collection called NATURALS will comprise of a range of accessories made using natural materials in natural colours and hues.
So the new roses (both corsages) are created using beige leather  and tan suede. They make an essential wardrobe addition for any girl who prefers natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, raw silk, as well as straw and genuine leather and suede in light colours.

The small closed rose is about 5 cm in diameter. It is finished with a brooch pin.
