Soft rolled edges

Working with Sinamay is a challange.

I need to practice my rolling skill some more. It took me hours before I managed to achieve a soft rolled edge without any sharp and broken lines. Next time I will start with a circle not a square. I will ad +1 cm for roll edge to the circles circuit before cutting having less surplus material and even edges to start with might make rolling easier. Hmmm

Good morning

strange things will be cooking in our Kitchen.

Working with

This my second attempt with freehand sculpting a sinamay facinator. I definitely need to practice more and learn how I can keep the material in shape while steaming the areas I work with. It is so frustrating to see  a beautiful shape flatten out just like that.

It looks better on a head with hair than on my pantihose covered face and head block.
I will make new fashinator and try some other shape.
