Vintage Indigo Kimono Flowers

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to purchase a gorgeous vintage kimono that has the most vibrant indigo colour.  I was in such a hurry to create flowers that I forgot to take a picture of the kimono before I unpicked it.  Oops.  Here's the panel from the left hand sleeve that I'm yet to upcycle...I did say it was gorgeous!
Before I show you how luscious the flower jewellery looks here are some close up pictures of the fabric.
 

Drumroll........here's the flowers I handmade ready to be worn as either a necklace, brooch or a hairclip.  As their creator I'm biased by their beauty!
I've taken these photos on my iPhone 3 - nothing fancy, no filters, just sunlight through the window.  It's the silk fabric and the vibrancy of colours that makes them pop and dance...well that's how I like to describe it!

These little lovelies will be in store soon...but if you want one of these for yourself let me know asap and I'll reserve one for you.  They'll make beautiful Christmas presents and each flower is one-of-a-kind.  Email me at hello@mindilindi.com.au if you're interested.
Have a wonderful day everyone - I am!
