Geisha-esque...

This here's my challenge outfit. I finally finished it! I went with a geisha inspired theme and this time around, only used those elements that fit in from the packet, rather than trying to use them all.

Back view...

I used the chopsticks as the parasol handle and wrapped the seam binding lace around it, though you can't see those details very well. I used the shimmery petals as the parasol top and embroidered around the wire frame with the embroidery thread.

Originally, I had wanted to use the pink petals to create an entire gown, but as time wore on and I was quickly running out of it, I opted for a simple fan.

And that's pretty much all she wrote folks. No fuss, no muss, lots of pins. Until later...
