Forest Tiara

This is the tiara I made to go with the Forest Ball-gown.

It's made from a cheap metal alice band, which I varnished gold and wired on strings of pearlescent beads, fake flowers and pinecones.
I decided as a forest theme I would stick to small woodland flowers. I really wanted fabric bluebells, but it seems they're incredibly hard to get over here, so little purple and maroon flowers it had to be.

I only used green and gold beads as the wig would be red (the dress also has bronze beads). As the dress is not a symmetrical design, I felt the tiara needed to be different on each side (yet not look lop sided) so I went with different colours and strung the beads differently.
