Steampunk Headpiece

I saw this feathered headpiece online and got the idea to try to make one for myself tonight but, Steampunk it up a bit... didn't turn out exactly how I imagined in some ways, but better in others...
The wide headband I used for it isn't sitting right on my head the way I wanted it to, but I'm going to keep trying to make it work.

I'm going to start off by showing my progress photos:

I used a combination of acrylic, enamel, and two different patina paints by Vintaj to age the clock hands and the clock faces using just a paint brush and a paper towel.

These are iridescent beetle wings I've been lucky enough to find at a local bead/jewelry supply shop.

I kept adding to it in stages till I felt like it had enough visual weight to it. I like how nicely it turned out.:)

Here's the head-band that I'm using as the base for this head-piece:

And lots of iridescent, black, rooster tail feathers:

Here's me trying it on:

I'll try to get some better lit photos later on of me wearing it...

And here it is on the styrofoam head:

If I can't get this to sit correctly on my head, I may end up taking it apart and instead using parts of it on my top hat for decoration.
-I'm not sure if it'll work any better on another headband...but I'm going to continue thinking on this. I'd love to keep it solely as a head-piece.

The Desert Rose floral garland

I had sort of been "envisioning" this for a little bit before I actually decided to sit and make it. I had the color-theme in mind and I knew I wanted to use these wooden flowers I'd bought several years ago...and thankfully I just happened to have everything I needed for it already sitting in my craftroom.

I think I got this made and finished over the course of two days. I could've finished it sooner, but I wasn't in any big hurry. :)

Made up of dried cone bits made into a rose, various high-quality silk and plastic floral accents, wired floral vine wrapped 3x, and a small assortment of feathers.

The Seed Pod floral garland

To date I've made about about 4 and a 1/2 of these floral garlands.  I initially thought to make these to sell, but the last three I've made I've like so much....not really wanting to get rid of them. *chuckling* ;D
And it's a rare thing for me to like something I've made so much that I actually want to keep it and wear it.
Rather than show the boring WIP pics, I'll just show you the finished garland and up-close detail pics. I've taken of it, too.

 Made up of dripping, deep purple, wisteria falls in the front with rooster tail feathers, dried lilly-pond seed pods, and various silk floral accents.
Floral wire-embedded vine wrapped thrice makes up the base of this garland.
Hanging from the front is a copper chain with three tear-drop crystals in the center.
Also, two small foam orange birds and three fake brown butterflies are hidden throughout this garland.

 

And lastly, me wearing it during the Faire.

New Orchid Garland and Goblin mask sculpt...

Been working on another floral garland and so far I'm nearly half-way done with it. I started it and then kind of just put it up and stopped working on it...bad me, I know. ;)
And I'm working on another Goblin mask sculpt...unfortunately, I'm thinking that the styrofoam head I'm using as the base is the wrong size/shape to get the same look as the original one had.












and the Goblin Sculpt(original:








Any thoughts?
