Orange Dazzling Dahlia Brooch - Unisex Debate

Yay! A Dahlia Brooch in a new colour - finally!

Honestly, I didn't know if I would make one in orange. However, I got a special order from a lady in the Netherlands requesting an orange one back in November! So I made it and sent it off! Her boyfriend actually ended up wearing it to a Dutch-themed wedding (as orange is their national colour, I believe) which made me really happy! :D I learned a lot from this.

What I can conclude from this is that:
1. The Gentle Flower products are somewhat unisex. (At least the brooches. My grandpa is going to wear one of these on his suit jacket!) Men like accessorizing too! :

The latest addition to our shop! Red Mini Garden Pink Brooch

2. The Gentle Flower products are in bright, happy colours, proving their versatile nature at various events! (They can both be worn on a daily basis or spruce up an outfit for a fancy event.)

3. Orange is a cool colour! Check out our other orange products as well.

4. Custom orders are da bomb / you're interested in custom orders!

5. I should make more jewelry for different events, themes and occasions!


Are there any colours you'd like to see?
Custom orders make me giddy, so keep 'em coming! ;)

You can get an Orange Dazzling Dahlia Brooch just like the one she ordered over here.

The Earth and I Laugh in the Same Way

According to E.E. Cummings, I must laugh a lot since I create a lot of flower-themed jewelry.

The Earth and I laugh in the same way. Creating things, such as beautiful flowers, gives me such joy. I'm always peaceful when I'm creating things. I resolve issues through creating things.

I'm sure the Earth feels the same way - the Earth sure makes some beautiful flowers!


And I do laugh a lot.

Here are some flowers that I've "laughed up":
