Here's some things that have caught my eye recently and have gotten the wheels a'churnin'! .... enjoy :)
Some famous designer...forget which. Could see this being done with wire hangers...
Princess Bride... sigh... this would require serious beadwork, of which I have zero patience.
Royal Ascot Ladies' Day .... kind of like the Kentucky Derby...but BETTER.
Vintage flapper-era wedding headpiece. I may actually attempt a repro of this with old lace and wire. I love how it looks like it was upcycled from a tablecloth or something. Very shabby chic :)

I love a Princess Bride!!!
Oo! Pretty pictures!
I love seeing what you post and what you make! You're passing on the craftiness inspiration with your creations!
I love the flapper head piece! Have you seen the little sleep hats from the 20's? They're darling, a lot of lace and fancy ribbon:)
Princess Bride is such a classic, I always wanted to be Princess Buttercup........
I bet that flapper headpiece could be done with starch to reduce the amount of wire you'd need. Like this crown!
Such lovely pictures to inspire you.
I was going to suggest starch too :)
Beautiful images. I love Buttercup!

hey you! Just found your stuff on Etsy - really, really beautiful. Thought you may want to check out Dutch jewelry designer lady Bibi van der Velden. She mainly works with vintage / found items, one of a kind pieces. http://www.bibivandervelden.com/ may it inspire you as much as it inspired me :)
I vote flapper piece now. It's a must. You would rock it with your own "twang" to it. (Can you tell I live in Atlanta, Ga using that word? Haha. At least I'm also born in England so I can use whatever background is convenient!)
Oh, and second the starch idea...her is a neat link for your benefit:
