Final pic.

This is how it turned out, after finishing the yarn and adding the shells.

Headpiece For Fall Eq 2012

I started out cutting the fin pieces out of chipboard and hot gluing them to the base.

Then I painted the whole thing with black gesso
I had some iridescent tissue, I cut it to fit and used blue metallic paint to stick it on.

Finished the rest of the sections.

Then I started hotgluing the yarn to the base.
Had Alyssa model what I have finished so far. Will post the finished piece tomorrow.
