A corsage is defined as a small bouquet that women wear on special occasions: A ball, a wedding and all manner of fancy moments....
What about the excitement of simply rising out of bed to face the wonders and mystery of a brand new day?
How about that moment of recognition when you look in the mirror and realize you trust yourself more than you did yesterday, knowing thyself a little bit more?
Perhaps celebrating the passing of a test, the perfection of a Mozart sonata for piano or giving birth?
Everyday life is filled with fancy moments, too - we just have to claim them as special, or they go by unritualized (thanks, Mom) or uncelebrated.
I began my corsage series with this is mind: a cuff that feels like a big deal that can be worn everyday - I tweaked the design a bit from the prototype I made the other day and came away with a keeper:
Tooled deeply, painted gently in a gorgeous pink, yellow and toffee monochrome rainbow...
Shaped carefully and gently lined in ebony to bring out the colors...
Fastened with a silvertone snap
And likely to cause all manner of not only elegance, but very silly poses and utter happiness.
This first piece fits a six inch wrist and will be in the
shortly.
Love to you,
Allison

I am lusting after that cuff.....its the bees knees...xoxo
Love this! I want a raven's wing AND a big purple black flower (or koi - or all of the above).
sigh
You are awesome.
I love the idea of an everyday corsage. This one looks so chic and comfortable as well.
My husband and I agree that your biceps are impressive.
Dearest everyone,
My biceps say, "thank you" for the kind words. You have made both of them too big for their britches: think it's bad when someone's head swells up with pride, well- imagine someone's arms!!
Sheesh ;)
xoxoxoxo,
Allison
Late to the commentary, but...that is one FINE design, and I second Shreve!
