NOTES FOR FINAL WORKS IN PROGRESS CROCHET CROWN LOOK... ONE MORE PHASE TO GO BEFORE COMPLETION

THIS LOOK REALLY WORKS FOR ME WITH THE BRIM, I LIKE THE ELEVATION THE THE TRIM MULTI COLOR BRIMS TO THE CROWN, NOW IT IS COMPLETED.

THE ADDITION OF THE BRIM AND THE TRIML IS REALLY SAYING SOMETHING TO ME.... I STILL HAVE TO ADD THE SIZING AND HAND SCULPT THE CROWN FOR IT TO HOLD IT'S PERMANENT SHAPE...

WORK-IN-PROGRESS NOTES ON MY CREATION OF MY LATEST FUNKY CROCHET MOJO CROWNS FOR THE URBAN MYSTICS OF THE PLANET BY XENOBIA BAIELY

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS CROCHET MOJO CROWN THAT I AM WORKING ON,... I HAVE NOT YET DONE THE HAND SCULPTING WITH THE LAQUAR SIZING TO GIVE THE CROWN IT'S PERMANENT SHAPE... FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT LOOK COMPLETE TO ME.

I THINK I AM GOING TO ADD A BRIM TO IT BEFORE I DO THE HAND SCULPTING WITH THE SIZING....

THE COLORS WORK FOR ME... THE YARN COLORS AND FILAMENT SPARKLING THREADS DO NOT SHOW UP THAT GOOD IN THE PHOTO....

IT IS SO GREAT TO WORK WITH A WONDERFUL LIVE MODEL WHILE I WORK ON THIS SERIES OF CROCHET CROWNS... IT REALLY HELPS WITH MY VISUAL THINKING.
