My millinery class has presented a couple of projects since i last shared photos, so this'll be a mishmash of excellent zaniness. They do a project involving wire-frame structures, and they do a project in which they create a hat/headdress with a historical or fantastical hairstyle for inspiration (basically, solving hair design issues with hatmaking techniques). So, here we go:

PRC Costume Technician Sam Kate Toney made this fantastic drag-inspired wig from foam and silk flowers.
And then i wore it to a Halloween party thrown by photographer Ryan A. S. Jones of Rytography,
which is why Sam got this fab "stage shot" of her project!
