An Everyday Piece

 An Everyday piece: Fascinator Mide

This was the first time I made this piece. Believe it or not, I was just trying to fix a bad hair day. I crocheted three red roses, and stuck them with pins, yes safety pins, on a black hair band. They were such a hit at this event that I decided to make them into something serious. Lol.

I separated the roses and just used one of the, with a small satin rosette and attached it to my braids for some 'pizzazz'.

Two Mide roses and some sequins, on a triple-strand band. There's elastic at the back.

All blinged up!

The customer, the lovely Nguyiman Makurdi, is well pleased.

Triple-band for some 24 bridesmaids.



December: Fascinator Emi.

This piece is interesting because it started out as something else entirely. But the friends of the bride said they didn't like it. So, we switched it up a bit.

I named it Emi after the bride who wanted this piece for her friends, as ASO-EBI. Nice trend yeah?

I discovered these beautiful brooches/buttons at a craft-supply store in Festac. Found a silver one to use for my own piece too; you know, the designer's gotta stand out. See below ;).

Then I made some for the Kinky Apothecary Natural Hair show. My momma rocked one too (below)!
My lovely Mother. Nothing like having family support your biz. :D


I should not have favorites. All my designs should feel that same amount of love from me.
