Nature Inspires Lookbook II 2012

28 pages, published 8/8/2012

Jewelry and Woodland Bridal Hair Accessories. I design, make, model, photograph and ship each item that leaves my home studio. I love working with silk, velvet, vines, millinery leaves, lace and vintage finds. I take pride in my handmade flower crowns, tiaras, combs and pins and love that they are worn by women on one of the most important days of their life.

About Me

I started making hair crowns after I was married in August, 2011 when I made one for my own wedding. I fell in love with the materials and the process. I design, make, model, photograph and ship each item that leaves my home studio.

I started my first Etsy shop, Nature Inspires (jewelry), in 2010 and then opened the Woodland Bridal shop in September, 2011. Until recently, these were both part-time endeavors, but I am now attempting to be a full-time flower crown & jewelry artist. I also run Sweet Violet Bride - a nature inspired wedding blog.

Fun Facts:

I grew up in a family of visual artists, and being creative is as necessary as breathing to me.
I spent my college days hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and then
spent a few years as a glacier guide, naturalist and trail guide in Juneau, Alaska, where my love of nature flourished. I also have an MFA in Creative Writing and currently live in Vermont with my husband and two cats, Luke and Leia.
