Not So Still Life





Not So Still Life
This platter hat is inspired by painting come to life. The bouquet of flowers is so vibrant it cannot be contained on the canvas. In fact, it is is so filled with color and vivacity its uppermost branches have begun to lift from the surface to expand into 3 dimensional being.
The flower trim on this hat is an embroidered appliqué that has been hand stitched onto that vibrant, lemon yellow sinamay straw platter. It is wired where the flower leaps from the edge. Rich lilac stiff cobweb weave adds some visual whimsy while disguising the sinamay straw wedge that supports the platter. It all rests upon a fuchsia sinamay base that is securely sewn onto a one inch wide lilac headband with a metal comb added for extra security. It will arrive to you nestled in acid free tissue paper inside of an abbydid box so she can get her beauty sleep in between wearings.
