Handmade Floral Circlets/Headbands

Our floral circlets make a great finishing touch to any woman's or young girl's outfit, and are also perfect for themed weddings. Wenches, fairies, princesses and peasants alike all love them! Also wonderful additions to your wedding! Each is individually handmade using only the finest silk flowers- not dried flowers (so you won't have petals and pieces of babies' breath coming off in your lovely tresses!)

If ordering a style with ribbons, your circlet will have 5 attatched strands/colors of satin-acetate ribbon that match your flowers. They add a very feminine touch and look lovely trailing down your back. Upon arrival, they can be cut down to the desired length, or left longer.

We currently have four styles available:
*Full circle of flowers   $30
*Full circle of flowers with ribbons   $32 
*Open-fronted circle of flowers   $30
*Open-fronted circle of flowers with ribbons   $32
(We can upgrade your order with fabric ribbons for an additional $5)

*This was a Spring-themed circlet, full of white, yellow, and pink daisies, pale blue and pink waxflowers, and blue delphinium. Similar circlets would go great for Beltaine festivals and match any pastel-colored dresses.

Alright. Let's face it.  M. Pena, Ciruelo, and Michael Whelan all have the kind of beautiful
dragons you'd love to watch fly the skies for hours.. 
     But not all dragons are nice. Or pretty.
     Some are the nasty, man-eating, village-raiding, maiden-stealing varieties. Though few and far between nowadays,
there once were many people hired to slay these vicious animals- dragonslayers... 

 

     All dragon feet are in the 'closed' position (like the red and white feet in the pictures), and have a spike on the back of the foot. They'll come custom painted, sealed, and ready to finish- simply add a bit of leather or a metal end cap (depending on what you're using them for), and you're set! Even used as is, they look awesome and are great for a lot of things. The detail on them is incredible-  they're much nicer looking than our pictures show.

  • Renaissance Faire goers & Halloween costumes:
         Dress up as a dragon slayer and have a few of these hanging from your belt by a few leather strips, or tie one on to a simple leather lacing for a necklace. Going as a witch, sorcerer, wizard, mage, druid, or ranger? Use the same ideas or place a few in a small glass jar for display.
  • A unique keychain:
         Announce your love (or dislike!) of scaly, fire-breathing beasts! Simply glue a metal end cap (sold in craft stores) to the unfinished elbow end of the claw and hang with your keys. Makes a great gift for the dragon lover in your life, and a wonderful conversation piece!
  • Makes a great gift:
         Roleplayers, LARP fans, D&D (Dungeons and Dragons), Harry Potter, or other dragon & fantasy fans.
  • Other crafts and ideas:
         You're only limited by your imagination! We have some ideas for a few of these puppies ourselves (and may be offering those finished products for sale online in the near future!). Think of the possibilities!

 

     Don't forget, you get to pick your colors!
Choose dark, light, or metallic for any of your color options:

Available foot colors: 
Black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, tealblue, purple, brown, gold, silver& gray.

Available Claw (nail) colors:
Natural (black-brown with a bone color), white, black, gold, silver.

 
Above: One of our new Jumbo dragon feet- these guys measure 10" long overall! This one was custom-painted in peacock shades- the webbings and bottoms of the toes are metallic emerald, fade into a metallic sapphire around the middle, and the tops of the fingers are a beautiful amethyst color. Below are two details of the finger/wrist areas.
 

Other Colors? Other Sizes?

If you have another color you'd like, ask (be specific) and we can probably do it!
Want a larger size foot? Again, be specific and ask- we can probably do it! (Other sizes are considered
a special-order item and will require longer to do.)

*Please Note: These are made from harvested birds and are a natural by-product of the food industry. No birds were killed specifically to make these items. Though these items are lightly sealed, we do not recommend getting them wet, leaving them outdoors, or submerging in water.

Coin Pouches

Coin pouches are an often-overlooked accessory, but they can add so much to your costume!

These pouches can be worn by almost anyone- they give royalty that extra display of wealth, rogues and pirates are lent that air of sucess, and even Robin Hood needed something to keep the money he stole from the rich in (until it could be given to the poor, of course).

Each bag is made of a lovely sheer material and is filled with lightweight coins (so as not to weight you down during battles!). Drawstrings on the bags can easily be looped through a belt or tied on to a rapier frog or carrier for "security," and we offer two sizes for your convenience, and your character's budget. Tie several bags on for the "richest" look.

Small bags (4" x 5" when flat) come with 30 gold coins~ $4 each, your choice of bag color.
Large bags (5" x 6" when flat) come with 55 gold coins, $6 each, your choice of bag color.

Empty Small Bag: $2 each, our choice of color.
Empty Large Bag: $3 each, our choice of color.

Available Bag Colors:
Burgundy, Royal Red, New Gold, Sheer Aqua, Grass Green, English Lavender, Pale Blue, Royal Blue, Amethyst Purple,  Leather Brown, Bone Ivory, Dusty Pink, White Ice, Sterling Silver.
*Colors subject to change without notice.
