Name of Hat
Aurora - Hope and Light

Description

Because of the epidemic and the war, everyone is very depressed and sad, and until now, some sad things are still happening in the world. But, as long as we believe in hope, everything will get better and better!

Inspired by the ‘Aurora,’ the half-regular black hat symbolizes a painful life, and the other half with a colourful free shape symbolises a happy place. In order to represent the colour of aurora, I spent much time in dyeing sinamay and free hand skill.

I wish everyone a good life.

Materials:

  • Buckram
  • Sinamay
  • Fabric
  • Elastic
  • Wire
  • Sequins

Techniques:

  • The half-regular black hat symbolizes a painful life, and the other half with a colourful free shape symbolises a happy place. In order to represent the colour of aurora, I spent much time in dyeing sinamay and free hand skill.
