Magenta Magic

Just finished and for sale in the shop a sculpted sinamay hat with a circular trim which as such isn't a trim but somehow stands out much more.
I do love hats that have a strong shape and little or minimum trims they are always the ones that I like to wear myself.
I bought myself a little button hat block last week and I shall be using it to block a new piece [can't wait to use it] I will post a picture soon.
I also made a pretty ivory crin headband with a coral lace frond that has little seed beads sewn up the spine.
Lastly a big teal pedal straw hat perfect for anything outside, if we ever get a summer again !

 

 

 

Polka Dots

I have been using some polka dot 'crin' which is a woven fibre to make a few headpieces including this 50's styled headband. It's secured with small crystals and has a black crin bow as a trim also with a cluster of crystals in the centre. It sold on Saturday to an American lady for the Derby.Hope it brings her luck on the horses.
