Pepper headpiece

This playful and spicy creation is one of the several naturalistic headpieces designed and totally handcrafted by Deirdre. The peppers were made from epoxy resin, then covered in buckram and hand-dyed leather. The seeds were hand sewn to the pepper bases, while the leaves were realised from hand-dyed silk taffeta and then wired. The straw base was hand sewn.
