Working on some more inexpensive but oh so cute dread and braid cuffs. Can't wait to upload some pictures and start putting them on Esty.
I am also getting into re-purposing some clothes I have that I don't wear but will once they rock :) Maybe I'll sell some of the clothes I design, not sure.
Working hard!! Have a great one!

Secret Garden Dreadlock Cuff/Sleeve Redux

Okay, so when I went out to AC Moores I had a specific theme in mind. I wanted to represent The Secret Garden in hair accessories. So I looked up a few pictures and settled on this idea:
The whimsy of this image. With the color scheme of this image.
So I printed off the two images and took them with me. There were a lot of different colors but I liked the idea of keeping the 'garden' between the borders, as if hidden. The colors of the outside borders are calm, cool earthy tones. The cream represents the brick wall - I always saw it as a white wall in my mind - covered with ivy. The colors on the inside are vibrant and change in the sun, representing the flowers behind the gate.
I am really proud of this cuff. It's one of my faves!
