#130082 - TICKLED PINK - Donated to the North Qld Breast Cancer Conference being held in Townsville on 4 May.
Stunning hot pink silk abaca - shaped reminiscent of the Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon symbol with a twist - sits upon a handblocked black sinamay button base. Embellished with a matching hot pink burnt ostrich feather. Fully lined and secures with an elastic.
I have chosen to call this piece "Tickled Pink" in memory of my Nana. Nan was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in her early 50's and subsequently had a mastectomy. My Nan was an amazing lady - as many will attest - and a Breast Cancer Thriver to the age of 91. Nan was a seamstress and I was spoilt with many amazing creations over the years. Sadly she never met my beautiful children or saw me embark on my millinery journey - but I know she would be "Tickled Pink" about it all. xx
I hadn't read it - was sitting in my inbox - have now obviously. Always exciting to get recognition. Paris Kyne commented "WOW" on my "In a Spin" piece on the Hatalk site - that was a bit of a thrill.
