RE: Art Deco Headpieces Part 1
True it's not really that simple as straight vs curved but when I think deco it's something like this: 
But honestly it's not really that important. I wasn't trying to offend or anything like that. I just feel that the geometry of these pieces is more nouveau (the 2nd piece in particular). Which is actually a compliment because I like it better.
But, maybe that didn't come across in my original comment...I was just trying to say something more than just 'fantastic work', 'good job', or 'gold star' or whatever.
Thank you for the clarification. If you look at popular Art Deco wallpaper designs you will see the "fan chevron" pattern I used (in the first piece) is quite common. Circles and fringe are less common, however I wanted to add elements of silent film costuming.
In my opinion Art Nouveau is more asymmetrical with organic flowing lines. I think of flowers, leaves, vines, and nature. Actually, the robe I am wearing in the first picture Art Nouveau.
I will be making a green fairy inspired Art Nouveau headpiece soon so stay tuned!
