Photo Day

Posted on 30. Apr, 2013 by Princess Lasertron.

My friend and great photographer Justin Limoges spent the weekend with me taking photos of the final projects for my craft book coming out in the Spring of next year. So that’s pretty far off, but the past year I spent designing and making and photographing these projects went by in a flash. I can’t share any sneak peeks of the projects yet,

And a shot of my life coach Sarah and spiritual guide Rebecca who helped me with styling and modeling for all of the wearable projects. I really have had the best team at my side through this whole process.

Tonight I have to finish the writing, which entails going through all of the tutorials I’ve created and fixing all of the errors in the instructions that I discovered when I made each project. After that the hard work is done.

The hard work is done.

(And on to more hard work!)

How to arrange and wrap a felt flower bouquet

Posted on 05. Apr, 2013 by Princess Lasertron.

I made this video a few days ago when I was finishing the bouquet (at 4am) for Audrey’s wedding. I’m often asked how to finish bouquets once all of the flowers have been created, so I turned on my husband’s iMovie and thought I’d go through the entire process! It’s a little long but I think it’s pretty thorough.

I didn’t get into how to cover the stem with ribbon because that’s usually the last step after the customer has a chance to review and approve the work. BUT, I will say that’s something I explain in-depth in my upcoming book.

Let me know if there are other questions about the video, about my awesome jammies or makeup-less face, or anything at all. Thanks for watching!

Flowers for Audrey’s Wedding

Posted on 05. Apr, 2013 by Princess Lasertron.

Audrey’s mom Laurie contacted me to create a bouquet for her wedding coming up later this year. I’m happiest about the little blue silk carnations, made from the ties of Audrey’s late father that her family sent to me to integrate into the design. The handle is wrapped with another one of his ties (a Christian Dior, I noticed!) and pinned with pearl-headed pins.

This is certainly one of the more memorable bouquets I’ve ever created. I love how it turned out and I can’t wait to see all of the blue and green elements brought into the rest of the wedding day for Audrey and her fiance’s seaside wedding!
