I love Alphonse Mucha~ his artistic love affair with Sarah Bernhardt, the jewelry he adorned his portrait models with, as well as the designs he actually had made into jewelry pieces in collaboration with French jeweler Georges Fouquet- I am fascinated by his magical worlds of movement and swirls!!



When I was asked to make an Elven wedding headdress loosely based on the crown Arwen wore in the last scene of The Return of the King, I drew upon Mucha's wonderful flowing lines and the profusion of flowers everywhere in his work to bring a uniqueness to the piece.


This piece is truly a collaboration- I came up with an idea based on a request from a customer...Ian designed the gorgeous celtic weave base, my niece Alicia designed the bead strands (and is the model in these photos;), and I added my crystal flower arrangements and put it all together. My sister did the photos- she is so good she made even these rushed ones look great!
