Zipper Flowers 2

I wanted to try a few different things with the zipper flowers.

here's a short, navy zipper with metal teeth and the short picot tatted chain

from the side it looks a little tight and tall

I opened up the tight zipper rounds by folding the bottom row back.

this sits nicely and has some dimension to it.
I like the soft tatted frills against the hard metal teeth

the second portion of the navy zipper with a doubled, singed organza frill creates a different flower look. I added a turquoise cracked glass bead to the center, topped with a small silver seed bead. The contrast of soft, frilly, and transparent organza against the solid navy zipper fabric and the hard, metal teeth appeal to me.

hmmm, maybe some more color?

or, some more tatting?


why not both?!

tada!



I'll be adding a pin back to create a lapel pin. I think I'll wear it to choir practice.
I wonder if anyone will notice.
