HATalk Archive Inspiration
- Textured Fabric PomPom Project by Elena Shvab
Description
I enjoy working with lots of colors and textures. I was inspired by the Pom Pom hat from the Hatalk issue 179 because of the texture details. My goal was to work in a variety of materials to create a fascinator perch style hat made in layers of textures and bold contracting colors. A wonderful look to celebrate a special event or make a fashion statement.
