The leaf-like patterns in pink, blue, and green are just lovely!♡
This one is an umbrella made from a painting by a dyeing artist using the technique of wax-resist dyeing*
The gentle color palette gives it a sense of luxury!♡
The wedding dress remade umbrella seemed to be a difficult challenge*
In this case, making an umbrella from a wedding dress was quite challenging due to the limited fabric width.

The abundant use of lace makes it truly beautiful...!
It will undoubtedly become a treasured possession for a lifetime!♡
