The drama that is Melbourne

The drama that is Melbourne. More is more is more with this lockdown labour of love. First I made the hatblock which took a little time each day between lockdown announcements. The hand cutting over 300 feathers was my next boredom buster. Assembling was the fun part but the more I added the more I wanted to add more. I had to stop at some point.

She is based on my favorite Bes Ben millinery shape - not an easy one to make, but a fabulously dramatic final piece of couture featherwork.
