Ready to begin. Here are the non-electronic components, which are all stuff I had in my stash already.
I blocked the base using this sugar bowl. I did make a similar shape fascinator block in a workshop at the International Millinery Forum this year with Jan Wutkowski but I think I've left it at school. Or somewhere in this messy room. (And when I went to see if Jan had a site or blog I could link to - the photo of them is on her blog!)
The base is wired and covered with fabric.
Fake flannel flowers look a lot like creepy creatures from the deep to me.
But not as creepy when on the hat. I hope the glowing will make them look weird again.
LEDs and a switch added.
Now some other foliage to go with the flowers. Ideally I wanted something a bit more swirly off the base, as in my sketches, but I wasn't able to achieve that with what I had. Nevertheless I quite like it so far.
Next: the insides of the flowers, and the wiring. I hope the flowers are not too hidden at the back to get the look I wanted. We shall see.
