A Regency Coral Diadem

There's a fever sweeping the costuming community this year. Tiara fever. Diadems. Crowns. Shiny head thingies. I haven't been immunized against Shiny this year, so, of course, I fell victim to the fever. So, I made a coral tiara.





I used lamp banding from eBay, brass sheet, 20 gauge wire, coral beads, and plastic combs. It was a complete experiment working with new materials (the lamp banding was foreign territory to me), and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.  I'll have a post in the near future on how I went about making it.

Also, is this slipping? It feels like it's slipping...
