Melissa featured on Etsy!

Etsy regularly features products to convey a certain mood or season. Recently, the Melissa piece from FeatherHeart was chosen for its gallery.

The Melissa was created for Melissa, art director at PGA South Florida for her wedding in early 2010. Melissa came into the studio with her beautiful dress and a photo of the flower bouquet she would be carrying on her special day. The naturally beautiful cockatoo feathers were a lovely match for the dress. They were paired with a handmade flower in pink to echo the colors in her bouquet. A pearl spray, crystals and delicate strands of moss green ostrich feathers completed the look. Melissa chose to have her custom headpiece on a comfortable wire comb. The groom wore a buttoneer handmade from the same elements: silky pink flower, cockatoo and ostrich feathers.

The Melissa is available on Etsy.

The new site is up!

From Friday evening until Sunday night (Sept 10-13), my friend Laine (web dude) and I went back and forth with emails and the viewing of my site update in progress. And, now it's up! There's even a little tune playing in the background, Cesaria Evora, the Barefoot Diva from Capo Verde. The lovely lady is Patricia, whom I met at a doggie event. I felt that photo embodies everything FeatherHeart is about: beautiful sophistication, but playful as well. I welcome your feedback!

Blue Polly goes flying around

Marcela DiSanto told me she was going do a little traveling, so Blue Polly said she'd like to come along. I can't wait to see ALL the pics. But, in the meantime, Marcela placed 2 of them on FB. Adorable! She went to Fashion Night Out at Bal Harbour, and pictures for Marc Jacobs perfume, Bang were being taken, and BANG! there she is! It's a stunning piece of work! And, Polly looks pretty cute, too! :-) Blue Polly is available for $45 and it looks fabulous for a non traditional look at a wedding can be paired with a veil or, dare we say it, a bird cage! :-) www.featherheartdesignsbydannielle.com
