Now that the dust has started to settle after our recent Embellishment Workshops at Struan Farm, I can start to concentrate on applying some of the learnings from Lisa Cruse on my own felted hats.
I'm starting with my favorite of her hat designs, Nellie Crush, and am "auditioning" the following:
I would needle felt the purple/plum/orange roving in a flowing design on either side of one of these two vintage buckles. Right now I'm preferring the two piece bakelite one I've propped up on the hat, but I also really like the idea of the other with translucent plum beads running down the center. I may try to inject those beads in the design once I get the roving needle felted, since I rather like them, but will have to see how it evolves when I start to execute on this.
