Carnival is celebrated from Brazil to Venice…and some may even consider Mardi Gras a carnival attraction! The main events occur this month in Brazil. I would so love to do some celebrating south of the equator!
The white mask from Venice, Italy is mysterious with it’s veil of beads.
The color here astounds me.
Now for the finale!!! I found this peacock brooch on Etsy and I came up with something similar for the girls to create at the Bat Mitzvah party.
Peacock headbands like these are selling at Barney’s for a small fortune! I recommend you check out these artists for something equally gorgeous and affordable.
I made mine with clips from Walgreens, antique buttons, guinea feathers, colored feathers, and old brooches given to me by a dear friend. You could even use the striped pheasant feathers, I love to mix the solid colors with the spots.
If you’d like something custom, please contact me!
Either way, you can get into the Carnival spirit!
Two more things: I am so honored to be nominated for a Design Lovely. Through the competition, I have discovered many friendly designers and great blogs. If you’d like to stop by Rachel’s site and leave a comment for me, I’d be delighted!
Finally, my Bathroom Redo is on the brag board over on Knock Off Wood, so check it out!
