Millinery

For my elective in reading week i took Millinery, and i loved it!

we were all given a felt hood to work from, and we had to mould our hats from a block from scratch, i didn't realise how much hard work and time went into making a hand made hat. I even lined mine, and did all the decorations by hand. i really enjoyed it, although my hands were killing me by the end of the week, i wish i'd have worn a thimble now or plasters on my fingers or something from pushing all those pins into the wooden block, they were red roar. I based my hat on a woodland fairy tale theme, and i think it turned out brill! (For a first go anyway)! and i cant wait to get my mark back for it, i think my sketchbook was fairly strong, and i was pleased that i managed to get it all done in just one week!
