Macaron headpiece

This witty headpiece is inspired by the French pâtisserie. Many colours (purple, turquoise, pink, mauve, orange, pale green) stand out against the black elegant satin and taffeta of the box. The macarons were cut from circles of buckram, then wired, padded with wadding and covered with hand-dyed silk velvet, while the cream centres are circles of silk velvet gathered together.
