Crowning Glories hat

Eastern Dreams

By Sara Hodgson

Media: velvet, chiffon, braid, pelmet vylene, shisha mirrors, beads, silk painting

Pattern attracts me. The patterns on my hat come from cacti. I exaggerated the subtle colours I could see in the cacti and succulents to make the hat stand out. The veils hanging down have a delicate look, whilst the crushed velvet gives a rich, warm feel to the hat. It has an eastern feel to it, hence the title.
