Sardine headpiece

Sardines on a headpiece are not very common: Deirdre is often inspired by the artistic freedom and witty combinations of the Surrealists, playing with the unusual and extraordinary. The bases for the sardines were hand carved and covered with the lame and the netting, then sprayed with paint. The leaves were made from silk taffeta, hand-dyed and wired together, while the base was handcrafted from strip straw.
