Vintage lace Mini Wreaths by Miabo Enyadike

Vintage lace Mini Wreaths

It is no secret, to close friends and family that I love to collect their lace fabrics, to use for Art and craft.

I am a fine and applied Artist, who is so in love with applying objects and fabric to my Art and craft and

lace, I use for it's texture and delicate look and feel.

Lately lace, has come into play in my Art and I love that but this blog, is about shabby chic which we know is a lacy affair.

I created these lace flower hangings, with plastic embroidery loops, that can be hung in a home with shabby chic interiors and accessories.

Black and Red lace may not be the favorite color of lace for shabby chic decor, I beg to differ because I see color and would love, to bend the rules to add a splash of color here and there to an all white, cream and beige, accessories in a shabby chic theme.

I'm still working on this project will keep you posted when I finish.

"Lace is always a soft add to an intimate decor and speaks for itself, that has been my attraction and the prompt for this decor".....Enjoy.
