tiaras really aren't my thing, but.....

I had to make one for a Columbia Sportswear holiday party, last month.  It was a design contest and always having been a careful "brief follower",  I set out to make this dainty tiara, only to to show up at the party where there were huge, elaborate crowns, some several feet high or wide and complete with LED lights.  My elaborate but small tiara didn't win anything, of course but a few compliments.  But, I did have fun making it.  Constructed from the following:  old rhinestone shoe clips, metal cogs, rusty keys, parts of old jewelry, beads, copper wire, a tiny bottle and pansy from the backyard.  Maybe Bea or Lola will want to wear it for something someday....
