Description

I love the ocean so I decided to create a headpiece incorporating elements of the sea. I used pearls shells & driftwood to embellish the piece. The base was created using a sand coloured sequin fabric to represent the Sandy beach. And I created the swirl style headpiece to represent the waves.

Techniques:

  • Cut sinamay into shape
  • Steam into shape
  • Attatch crinoline
  • Block base
  • Wire base
  • Embellish headpiece
  • Finish off inside of the base

Materials:

  • Sinamay
  • Crinoline
  • Shells
  • Pearls
  • Driftwood
  • Wire
  • Sequin fabric
  • Needle & thread
