I just wanted to show my headpiece, it’s nearly finished. A sturdy base has to be made and I’m thinking some small feathers would look nice in the center (hope I have some the right color in store). I really enjoyed working with sinamay, I think my next design will be made out of it too.
Haven’t been able get much done the past few days, I’ve started wearing glasses for the first time in my life, not quite used to them yet!
Je voulais juste vous montrer ma coiffe, c’est presque terminée. Je dois fabriquer une base solide et je pense que quelques plumes au centre serait joli (j’espère que j’en ai de la bonne couleur en stock). C’était sympa de travailler avec du sisal, je pense que ma prochaine création sera avec du sisal aussi.
Je n’ai pas pu faire grande chose ces derniers jours, j’ai des lunettes pour la première fois de ma vie et je ne suis pas encore habituée!

11|Apr|2012 3@Browyn Thanks! My mannequin head is a head made specifically for hat making (in french it’s called a ‘marotte’). I bought mine from Stockman, who are professional mannequin makers (http://www.siegel-stockman.com/) who obviously make to order.
