Vintage Hollywood Beauties - Ava Gardner

I've collected a whole bunch of stunning pictures of those flawless old Hollywood stars on my Girls Pinterest Board  and I just have to share them!
So I'll be posting one of them for you every now and then.

Here's a ravishing Ava Gardner.

Ava Gardner 1922-1990


She felt that life was crappy and that a lot of people got mistreated for weird reasons, and she liked to see people like each other. She was a real good dame.
-Lena Horne (Ava: My Story)

Did you know that Hyacinth bulbs are poisonous?

My Creative Space - Pale Grey


These are my very latest flowers. 
Though they are a very definite grey -or gray if you prefer- they look more pale blue in the pictures.




I've been meaning to make this smaller, simpler version of my flowers for a long time, but -it's been scientifically proven that- there's only so much one person can keep up with.....




I have an endless list of things I want to make, of versions of flowers that I have floating in my head.
Unfortunately, it's getting longer rather than shorter....




These flowers are specifically designed to be ultra light, so they can become bobby pins, but as you can see from the various findings displayed in the photos above and below, they can still be a number of things.



( Findings above: shoe clips, hair clip with attached pin/brooch , ring, bobby pin, baby hair clip, hair clip, brooch - pin back, extra large hair clip.)




I really like the lace in the centre and how it goes with the pearls.




And here are the finished bobby pins.
