My adopted Fairy Godmother, Paulee Gomke, is a fabric artist extraordinaire.
For the last 36 years, she has created a fantastical array of exquisite fabric crowns out of her collection of fabrics and trims. Reminiscent of something out of a Shakespearean fantasy, Paulee layers precious silks, satins and embroidered dresses, trims, laces, and exquisite beads to create these utterly unique works of art. Each one is a magnificent labor of love, and completely awe-inspiring. (Click on the images to see the crowns enlarged.)
Paulee made her first fabric crown as a birthday gift for a dear friend. Since then, she’s made over 30 of these amazing creations. Perfect for special events and royal coronations, each crown is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside (just like Paulee). The velcro stitched into the ends makes it easily adjustable for all sizes.
