silk taffeta goodness

Om nom nom nom... sometimes I come across a fabric that is just so fabulous I wish I could eat it! The newest Percy pieces are made from beautiful silk taffeta in diamond white and ivory. Diamond white being not quite white and not quite light ivory but a pretty shade in between. Ivory being a true ivory, certainly not a warm ivory but a little warmer than a light ivory. Oohh the spectrum of whites!

These blooms have tulle accents and are adorned with Swarovski pearls and crystals for a simple and elegant finish. The sizes pictured in the last photo below are 2", 3" and 4.5" although I'm sure if I had a free moment I could make them a little bigger. I do love big blossoms after all! They can also be accented with a spray of beautiful feathers and/or larger tulle details. Please contact me if you'd like to discuss options.

As with all Percy flowers, each piece is made petal by petal. Hand cut, stiffened, formed and assembled. What I love about these silk taffeta pieces is that each petal has a very subtle fray at the tips which I think adds to a lovely charm to the piece.
