Flowering Reed - The Wish Collection

Nicky Ree sent me a message a few days ago and said that she needed hair for a gown she was working on. She sent me a picture of the gown, and nothing we had seemed to really fit with it. She told me the dress was Greek Goddess inspired, and that Random Calliope had made jewelry to go with it (which I don't have a specific picture of at this point but you can see it in the ads) and a corona (which is the tiara). I tried one of the styles that was actually in this release, but it just seemed too casual. So I told her to give me a few days and I'd have something for her.

I saw in my head what it was, pulled up, but falling down, whispy and soft. The pretty pretty princess in me shone right through. I actually built the hair to the tiara so that no adjustment would be needed. These creations by myself, Nicky and Random are all interconnected. It was an honor to be asked to work with something they'd so beautifully done. Random's set is truly magnificent. This is the first piece I've ever had in my hands that he has made and I've spent a lot of time admiring it. Even on my bald head the tiara was amazingly beautiful.



As you can see, I originally did it without bangs. But I know you girls and your bangs, so I added some. I really messed with the bangs longer than the hair itself. Because it just doesn't have bangs when I see it. I tried the bangs from Fennel but that just didn't work for me. (Or Nicky, which was key.) So I kept playing with it and here is the final result:



As some of you know, our hair is all named for flowers. I really spent a lot of time deciding on the name for this style, because I wanted it to be incorporated with the "Wish" gown and jewelry. I finally found the answer: Flowering Reed. It means "confide in heaven." It seemed perfectly suited to a gown inspired by a Goddess and jewelry sent from the heavens.

You can purchase the hair, the gowns, and later today, the jewelry all at our location in Callatropia. You can also purchase all 3 pieces from Nicky's store in Deco.

I hope you get all of the collection, and feel like a Goddess!
