I live on the coast and the inspiration is the changing moods of the sea. The brim is shaped like a water drop and the covering on the base is two layers of fabric to create the effect of water ripple. The decorative addition is to represent the waves; the big loop being large breakers or surf waves, smaller waves underneath and running down to the waves gently flowing onto the shore. The decorations at the end of the waves represent the sea foam and the sun glinted on the water creating rainbow colours.
