Belle Fleur

Tavia McGrath

 

About the artist: Handmade flowers for clips, headbands, hats, pins, etc. I use fabric, felt and lace in my creations as well as vintage buttons from my grandma's vast collection.

My grandma was an amazing seamstress and loved all kinds of crafts. She could make anything, and was especially good at doll making and doll clothes making. She always had a project or two going and always had something for me to make whenever I stayed at her house. This is where my love of crafting came from. My grandma can no longer craft or sew because her hands and eyes just don't work the way they used to, so she has graciously given me a lot of her lace and buttons from her vast collection. The best flowers I make are the ones that incorporate materials from my grandma!

Craft genres: Handmade flowers
