Sailor cats in a boat head band
Sailor cats crochet wire head band
I created the hair band by sewing blue silk and silver plated wire ribbon for the top of the band and silver coloured wire mesh fabric for the lining over a wire hair band frame. I decorated the band with blue sand stone and lapis chips and some large blue dyed shell beads. The hair band features a little sculpture of two sailor cats in their boat sailing over a wave. I created the little sculpture by crocheting and sewing coloured copper wire. The cats are wearing cute sailor costumes which have lots of little details including tiny gold plated bead buttons, little sailor hats and neck bows.
The hair band is 3cm (1.2 in) wide and the cats in their boat sculpture is approximately 6cm (2.4 in) tall, 4cm (1.6 in) wide and 6cm long.
