It's a part of a huge project that I had in mind for a long time - 2 or even 3 years, just don't remember. The crown for a BJD. I purchased a several sets of real quartz crystals on eBay, various wires and supplies. I tried many designs, failed many times, until I used a bracelet as a base and glued the crystals with hot glue.

So, it occurred to me that the photos I usually take of my headpieces never really exhibit the detail I put into each Headpiece. I thought I would try to take some photos to give a better example of it. Like i’ve said before, I'm not very great with the photography aspect of giving the details. But, here's me trying. :)

Last one for now. Bunches of garnets moonstone, star ruby, Cherry quartz, and hand cut brass flowers. I was looking at a bunch of awesome samurai helmets and got inspired to try one of my own in my style.

This piece took me a little bit to finish. I think that people might not understand why the price for my headdresses are what they are because again, my inability to photograph the particulars. I’ll have to continue to develop this.

There's so much good shit in this piece, peridot, star rubies, opals, garnets, multiple colors of tourmaline,  topaz, moonstone, gold, & Swarovski crystals. There's also some vintage jewelry pieces I deconstructed to incorporate in the design. 

It may be much in its muchness, but it's what I like and don't particularly care to reign it in if I don't want to. Heh.
