Crowning Glories hat

Spike

by Wendy Teall, Start Lead Artist/Start Textiles Artist

Media: silk, metal organza, satin,beads, wire.

Alien forms, strange textures, bizarre beauty - cacti have them all.

My hat reflects the luscious, the succulent and the quirky qualities in cacti. It is built around a mobile spiralling cone of wire, covered in slashed, bloomed and sandpapered fabrics, and heavily studded with beads and jewels.
