2 bonnets
I am due to deliver a finished piece for exhibition on Saturday, and it isn't even started yet
The theme is (of course) the suffragette, Emma Sproson, who was placed in solitary confinement in Stafford Gaol for her activities.
This confinement took place just after her "confinement" with child, and she was obliged to leave the baby with her husband as babies were not allowed in gaol in those days.
I imagine Emma yearning for her child and sitiching a cap for it for when she was released.
I am now exploring bonnet structure and these are the first two examples.
The first one is made using chiffon, which has been machine embroidered, and then the fabric has been dissolved with a heat gun.
The second is made from stitched newspaper, which has been rubbed and then dampened and rubbed again.
I must finish sampling now and get down to producing the finished product.
