Name of Hat
Droplet
Description
I was thinking of water and its’ many forms.
There are droplets of water on leaves, teardrops, dewdrops and raindrops.
I used a block in the shape of a teardrop as my starting point and then decorated with two small teardrop shapes and finished the hat with a teardrop crystal on the tip of the hat to represent the “dripping” droplet of water.
Water has many colours in nature, the sea is blue, ice is of a bluish tinge hence my choice of a blue base.
Techniques:
- Fosshape blocked on teardrop shape wooden block.
- Base wired.
- Base covered in stretch velvet fabric sewn on to base.
- Two small fosshape droplets made on small wooden block.
- Teardrop shapes were covered in velvet fabric and cotton lattice fabric and sewn on.
- Beads sewn on to these shapes.
- Shapes then sewn to the hat.
- Soutage braid sewn around the perimeters of each one of shapes.
- Lining cut from same fabric as the hat and sewn into the underside.
- Large teardrop crystal sewn to tip of hat.
- Elastic sewn into the underside of hat to hold it in place.
