Swapping art work with fellow artists always gives me an excuse to spend time in my studio. It provided some much needed relaxation time. I wanted to provide my partner with a crown that had bits of color; pink, red, and shades of green. I also wanted the crown to have a vintage/classy feel. The millinery flowers, vintage rhinestones, and German gold embellishments aid in this look.
Molly, our hostess, is a ballerina so I had to add this little ballerinatrim to the side of the crown!
I put together a "crown key" for my partner.

I put together packages that included a plastic ballerina, scrabble letters that spell crown, a vintage bloomer pot holder, a vintage red stone pin, yards of seam binding, ephemera, horse tags (my partner lives on a horse ranch), and a little vintage wallpaper.
A pink depression bowl and a pin keep (made by me) also made their way into her package.
When all packages have been delivered to all swappers, I will provide you with a link to view all the amazing crowns. I will soon provide pictures of what I received!
Blessings,
Ele

Beautiful Crown! I'd like to ask if you used a template for the crown, if so - may I request that you share with me the source? Or did you just doodle it on your own? I love it!
Hugs & Smiles!
Hi Ele, thanks for stoppin' over! What a gorgeous crown...I'm sure your swap partner will be absolutely GIDDY when she beholds the bounty of her gift. :) Hope your summer's goin' peachy too! xoxo Andy
Ele,everything is beautiful and I had to look at the wedding toppers and dress. How gorgeous is that! I didn't have a real wedding dress, but I did have a nice wedding that became a wonderful marriage for most of our 39 years. I have a few cake toppers and I bought a wedding dress that I thought was odd and very in, Wish it fit me though, so I just have it on a dress form. Your swamp partner is getting some beautiful gifts. Lucky girl. Hugs, Pat
Goodness what a beautiful crown and in my favorite colors too. Love the key and little ballerina. So glad I happen to stumble this way.
