Can I be a Hand Model? Please?

Ever since my mom stopped cutting my nails, I just let them grow long, out of laziness. Below I painted my nails with a salmon colored polish from Ulta topped with my favorite glittery topcoat, In The Spotlight by Sally Hansen.


Below, I used a pink Salley Hansen nail polish as a base, then made the dots with the Ulta salmon nail polish, and finally added the lime nail appliques with a clear coat nail polish.

White and Pink Spotted Orchid Barrette/Brooch

 

I love orchids! So I had to try to make an orchid barrette. I had to stare at a calendar of flowers, since the month of February had orchids.

The orchid is sewn by hand with 30% wool nylon blend felt, and is beaded with pink glass beads.
I think I need to make one in leather soon!
