[@anissaboujraf8463]

I find this hat gorgeous and daring.. octopus are not the most attractive sea creatures in the large, but they are fascinating.. and what you did with that inspiration is wonderful it's not too obvious but not too far just the perfect dosage .. your hats are a great source of inspiration for me 🙏 favourite2023

Octopii are beautiful

It’s a gorgeous hat, the pearl chips were definitely the way to go!

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Thank you 😊

[@rosactaylor]

Simply beautiful.

[@donna9374]

Definitely Pearl chip's so exquisite 💫❤

What I love most is that your entire process was equally as sustainable as the material you used. Your recycled snip to plug the hat was not only an elegant end look, but also fit well with your theme. Reduce, reuse and recycle... even in the creation. The pearl chips are a nice hint at the tentacle suckers rather than the literal look. It makes the hat a conversation piece for any wearer. "Those pearls remind me of an octopus sucker." That sort of thing. Also, need to note that cat love is very important in the art of millinery. 😉

Hi Shari, Yes, reduce, reuse, recycle ❤️

[@margaretredmond4836]

Really beautiful, you are brilliant, you just don't think about hats you think about what is around you, well done ❤

[@tamarab.7151]

What a wonderful

[@patriciadean1649]

Beautiful ❤

[@vickinoeske1154]

I am so glad you used the pearl chips. Much more elegant and leans into the concept of octopus suckers instead of round buttons which would have been too literal. Beautiful hat.💜🐙

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

It’s lovely! I like the beads better than the suction cups. Well done!

[@emmsmillinery]

Beautiful hat. Wishing you the best of luck 💜

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

[@sisterkerry]

Gorgeous hat. I especially love the originality of the shape. Well done!

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Thank you! I didn't get through the selection process in the end though 😢 But never mind - I still like this hat 😀

[@susanjoseph8453]

Love bravo

[@sbaumgartner9848]

You do a great job and you suit the hats you make.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Yes I hope you win because its a lovely little hat and I have so many things like those mother of pearl chips, lying around from previous projects that never occurred to me to be suitable for hat decoration.

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello, thank you 💜 Yes, little beads are always lovely on felt hats, you can also try them on fabric hats and on ribbon hat bands 😊

[@TryinaD]

I enjoyed this process! I loved reading the PDF as well, it was very clear for me. I hope you win the competition!

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful creation. It’s gorgeous.

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it 💜

[@kathycarol2488]

Love the hat and I really impressed by the mechanics and that they are all invisible. I wonder if instead of scattering the embellishments they were spaced slightly more symmetrical . I think it might have drawn more attention to the unique shape. Just a thought

[@CareelBay]

I think you’ve missed an extremely important step here. The name of the kitty! 😉🥰😻 Love watching to your videos they are so interesting, thank you for shari g your knowledge. ☺️

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Thank you so much 😊 Kitten's name is Drusilla ❤️ Named after The Roman Emperor Augustus' wife.

[@annlidslot8212]

[@jannetnoczynski6057]

😊❤👏👏👏👏👏

[@deborahduthie4519]

Sorry to be pedantic but are you able to make that same shape ‘Capella’ but without the pieces joined at the back? I love the form, colour and the Mother of Pearl beads. It’s very pretty on you. This should prove to be a nice little seller 💷 for day or evening.. ✅💜
