Marie style bottle

This is my version of the altered bottle, I tried to make it look like it would be on Marie Antoinette's dressing table full of something exotic and wonderful.
I made the flowers, the fuchsia's are made form silk ribbon and hand dyed, the others are crafted from satin ribbon. The lace is from my vintage stash and I used a page out of a french book as back ground and then the word Paris in bold letters, for contrast.
I think this is my favorite part. the cap. the blue berry is made from satin ribbon and the pink ruffle is that wonderful seam binding, the lace ruffle is entredeux lace also from my vintage stash. This bottle would be so pretty on a vanity table, in a guest bath, or make a darling gift for someone or yourself.

Velvet Strawberries Marie style

These are my latest addition to my velvet strawberries, some are hand dyed velvet and some are the pastel colors of the velvet un altered , I tried to make these as ruffled and flowery as I could.
They come in many sizes, from the tiny 1" to the large 4" I have sold the 2 in the center of the above picture.
I like this new look with the ruffles and flowers and berries on the top of the strawberry. I think Marie Antoinette would like them too.
The berries vary in price from $5.50 for the tiny one to $12.50 for the large one.
