I've been using a 'pinch clip' in my own hair for about a week now, and decided it was about time I made a bow for it instead of using the bare clip.
excuse the bad webcam image, but here's what I came up with, I think it's pretty cute!

Up there just me and my shadow, no bass, no guitar, no tambourine. Then I found you like a melody, you were singin' in the same key as me. <3

You look like a burglar in a library on that pic. ;D
Well, well, too bad those bows aren't doll-sized. The dollies are the only ones around here who're girly enough to wear something like that. *g* Yes, it IS pretty cute! ^o^

There's potential for them to be smaller! I found while making this one, that it's actually not too hard to work with narrower widths. I could have a look and see what I can do!

Hee. Just looked at your comment about being a burglar in a library again. Most of those behind me are CDs or DVDs, but there are a few books.

Have a photo of the mess I make on the dining room table when I'm making bows!

*gg* Hm, now I wait for an explanation what the salt and pepper shaker are for. ;D
I should have shown pics of my "atelier" when I still had a dedicated corner in the old flat. Now it's spread EVERYWHERE! I would have to take a video, lol.

Oh ephie! The salt, paper and vinegar are just there because it's the dinner table.

Cinderella and Snow white bows. In two sizes! With ruler for more accurate comparisons of size!

And here we have something new! HURRAH!

First up is a Mini Snow White bow my friend Vicky commissioned me to make for her friends 18 month old daughter. Modelled by Animators collection Punzie to show the size.

And then we have Aurora and Rapunzel. Both now added to the collection available for sale. =D

And because she wouldn't fit in the last post. Here's Ariel too!
And Belle. But there's something not really quite right about Belle...

I like them all, my fav being Aurora. :)

Maybe a little bit of white lace on the Belle one would help, between the bow and the rose maybe? When I think of that dress in the dance scene the flowing white underskirts come to mind.

That's an idea...
Vicky said it looked to straight, Belle's dress is quite wavy and rounded after all. She also said maybe make the rose smaller. (Easier said than done when working with ribbon)

That's right too. So... maybe lace as trim on the ribbon then. Easier said than done too though - it's so hard to find tiny lace.

Mum says she has an idea, but she needs to get the ribbons herself to show me what she's thinking.
Also found that by making the bows a little bit smaller (As in not so wide), they curve more, and actually do look nicer too.

I should have posted this AGES ago! Oops!
Remake of Belle. She looks much nicer now, yes?
Also, two bow boards. I made the smaller one to hold the smaller bows because the larger one was getting a bit too full

(Skipped over a few posts because they were irrelevant)

My friend Jade asked me to make her a GB inspired bow! This was the design she liked best! Have to say, everyone that saw the initial designs liked this one best too! I know I do!

I'm such a sucker for the Union Jack and can't even say why.

Found a few photos of my collection that I took relatively recently.
Also discovered I lacked mini bows so sat and made myself a wee army. XD

First off, a photo of my bowboard (Before I added a ton of mini bows)
The army of mini bows! I found that using sticker backing sheets stops the glue going through and sticking the clips together. 8D
Detailed shot of Ariel and two of her sisters, I believe it's Aquata and a Arista.
And finally a photo of a ton of bows I found in my boxes that I haven't put onto clips. They're the prototype princess bows (For the most part).

Geez, that's really an army of bows! o.o
Even if I were to get one for my dolls... I couldn't decide which one I'd wanted. There's so many gorgeous colour schemes.

;D That's the idea. XD I guess it makes people want 'ALL THE BOWS' so they spend more money. =')

Also! I'm considering maybe having a table at MCM expo in October, selling these things. =D
