Just a quick video today to show you how I've been making my orchid-ish flowers for my Whitby gown project! Silk, wire, glue, and plenty of patience needed!

The silk flower petal templates: patreon.com/posts/silk-flower-86708159

The iron head I used is called the "Spoon tool 3 groove" from this set here: etsy.com/listing/941742377/21-flower-making-tools-optimal-kit-21?ref=yr_purchases

The color of dull mauve/gray silk I used: silkbaron.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1487

Music and Sound Effects from Epidemic Sound.

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
