Usually I design the base of the headpieces with wire mesh; for this one I used an old hat that I had not worn in years, manipulated the shape a bit and covered it with palm net before decorating it with a variety of textures as well as with cymbidium orchids, ranunculus, strawflowers and leucodendron.

The base of the scarf was made with felt  and similar botanicals were used to embellish it.

I drilled a hole in eucalyptus seedpods and strung them on 12 gauge aluminum wire to create the base of a necklace;  a variety of seedpods, succulents and berries were perfect to design a botanical pendant.

Thank you Ted Mishima for the stunning pictures and Marie Dysart-Hill for the fabulous modeling!
