this capelet collar is made from a piece of vintage cotton velvet. the color is a bright pumpkin orange/ yellow hue, i think the second pic with the frog close-up is the most accurate display.
i have hand embroidered the fronts with a storybook raven and frog. they are free hand cut from wool felt and appliqued to the velvet with lots of tiny stitches.
details are the vintage metal press studs stitched on for the eyes.
the black raven wears a top hat embellished with a flower.
the frog sports a pair of overalls held up with fancy pink braces.
the collar is fully lined with black cotton.
a selfmade pleated frill trims the edge, it has a tiny all over pattern of doves and flowers.
the neck order edge and double set of ties are another vintage cotton.
the ties can be tied together or separately in lots of different ways, as you like.
measurements :
from neck edge to hem along shoulder line : 8 & 1/2 " or 22 cm.
neck opening is 17 " or 43 cm.
can be worn by adult or child as capelet or large collar, depending on size.
