Crazy Hat inspired by Isabella Blow Exhibition
I went last year of Isabella Blow Exhibition at the Somerset House in London..
And I aslo went to a visit to the Grant Museum of Zoology in London with my pre-foundation class and with that came the idea to do this hat...
Hornbill bird head skull at Grant Museum
paper sculpture ideas- purple in front and yellow at the back - looking at this in a certain angle could remind us of a "cat eyes" - from here came the idea of the round shapes and colours of purple and yellow to my inside and outside hat printing design...
these printings above were made using rubber band on top of fabric and then using the hot press machine. This same image was scanned into computer and then manipulated with Photoshop to design the inside of my hat...
bellow are a few printings made using hot press machine into different types of fabric using my own drawings or found objects such as feathers, rubber patterns, jute, lace..
these printings were made using my printing above of the hornbill bird head scanned into computer and manipulating it with Photoshop. So it could be printed back into paper or textile.
I used the idea from the sellotape sculpture to make a preliminary template for my hat. Next to it is a "natural sponge" from the tree in Brazil that I thought would mimic the fibres on the top of the head of the hornbill bird skull but unfortunatelly it was too thick to go into the hot press machine.
Templates paper and interface Vilene
I added all different sorts of things to my crazy hat...It was nice to experiment and make my own first hat...also doing this hat open up new interests for me such as textile art, print making and Photoshop into textiles.

April news
This is my last pastel nude for the moment...
I had my second and last presentation for the pre-foundation class yesterday...I was a bit umprepared for the day to be honest ..it was a shame I couldn't stay to the end to watch my colleagues presentation as I have to rush home to look after my youngest daughter that wasn't feeling well that day..still, I got a few positive and constructive feedback from my tutors and colleagues that is always welcome.
No many pictures this time...
