ahsoka tano headpiece (star wars)
This headpiece was created for our daughter as she was getting older, and didn't want to get left out of the Star Wars Weekends fun. This was one of my first headpieces that I did, especially with fabric, and it was challenging yet entertaining. Felt was formed around an old children's hat, while adding stuffing and using household cable to help give it shape, I tried out my sewing skills. The front diamond pieces were foam that was carved and shaped and then painted. The lekku's, or 'tentacles', were connected at the bottom by velcro to help give it more of a shape, but also keep it on her head.
