Magpie Calls- Update Oct 2015

Hi All.

I felt I needed to give a bit of an update of some of the stuff that has been happening and that I have been working on over the last while.

First up the big news has been Magpie Calls inclusion in The Bridal Gallery in Hillcrest, a permanent Exhibition space filled with every type of Bridal supplier you could need. We are in the VIP Brides side with all the beautiful wedding dresses. I am very excited for this partnership and hopefully the Brides are too!

Here are some pics from the Gallery( Excuse the phone pics):

I have also been working on various custom orders.
Here are some pictures of the final products (When I get professional photos from the weddings I will do separate blog posts on each).

Here are 2 Bridesmaid sashes in mint green and coral tones.

I have just finished a multiple item order- a super bling sash, strap brooches, and hair flower.

Here are some progress shots of the sash:

and then the final sash:

and the strap brooches:

 Everything altogether:

I replaced the flower as the colour was too dark,

I am currently busy with my showcase prep. Check here for event info on LEGENDS! The Dance Tribe/Left of Centre combined studio showcase in Durban, SA! Keep an eye out on facebook and the blog for some posts on some custom costume pieces I have made.

I hope to not be too long before catching you all up again!

much sparkle love

Magpie Calls Pretties Dec 2014

Hi All.
Last week I posted some new pretties, and I am continuing the trend this week. I've been a busy little bee and I really hope you like what I have been cooking up!

MC BRIDAL:

Last week I showed you a lovely flower crown and  hair comb.
Today I have made a lovely Boutonniere pin to go with the hair comb.

I put the following together to show you how different pieces could work together.

Bride, Groom, Bridesmaid = sorted.

Next is a sweet alice band with pearl beads, and a beaded silver base. Would make a lovely accent for a bridal hairstyle. Simple but so so pretty!

GENERAL RANGE:

Last week I had posted some necklaces.
This week it is about the hair.

First up some of MCs signature fabric flowers. They are both a hair clip and a brooch.

 These two would look so lovely paired together

Next up a fascinator clip- perfect for all the end of year parties coming up!

and lastly some sweet flower crowns with fabric flowers. These are suitable for a casual, bohemian everyday look. very easy to tie onto the head with ribbon.

 

I will have a few extra items which I am busy finishing up but weren't ready for the photo shoot. A nice stocked stall for the I heart Christmas markets on the 6th and 13th Dec at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Support Local artisans and crafters this Christmas!

much love and sparklies

 

Magpie Calls Pretties November 2014

Hi All.
 Today I am giving a peak at some of the new pretties from both the general and Bridal ranges. Next week I will give another peak so you know what to expect at the December I heart Markets.

GENERAL RANGE:

I love these new necklaces. They are soft, versatile, give the illusion of a lot of necklaces without all the bulk and issues of having to put on and take off. They can also be worn in a couple different ways. I have a longer and shorter version available. 

The following necklaces are totally upcycled, from the buckles, to the re-purposed beads. I love knowing that these old buckles now have a new life in a pretty necklace. Both are long and hang just on or below the chest.

BRIDAL RANGE:

I have been getting together some awesome creations for my new Bridal range and here are some of the new additions.

First up is this sweet little hand-crafted comb. a mix of pretty pink, peach and crystal. The pink/peach flowers were hand made from scratch by me. Would make a beautiful accessory for a bride or her bridesmaids.

 

I love flower crowns and have some awesome ones planned, but in the meantime I wanted to start off simple. This would make a great bohemian Bride accessory or for flower girls or bridesmaids.

Have SO many pretties rolling around in my head and I am really trying to bring as many of them as possible to life. Come join us at the I Heart Markets at the Stadium in Durban in Dec (6th and 13th) and purchase some beautiful, unique and handmade pretties as Christmas presents.


Much Sparkly love
