Facinating!

Had a great day out on Monday at WI House in Denbigh, where we learned how to make a facinator. It's very gorgeous ivory silk in the flesh, and I am quite pleased with my little self for finishing it!! All the sewing of small beads on to the silk with invisible thread was hard work, but worth it in the end lol. May have a go at something a little smaller to sell at the CM, but don't think there would be a lot of call for one of these.

Beautiful work, Elizabeth. I'll have to look up fascinator on Wikipedia. Seems like back in the 40s there was something called that but I was too young to wear one.
