Description
This dragonfly in raw silk pitcher plant is part of the Carnivorous Plants collection; hats inspired by the hungry plants found all over the world who are nourished by insects & small animals. This hat is inspired by the deadly Nepenthes pitcher plant, found across the world.This sneaky plant attracts insects with a pool of sweet nectar that ensnares them & makes their wings useless, the ribbed edge of their pitcher also makes it impossible for them to climb out. This hat shows the moment a giant dragonfly fell in, a beautiful homage to the circle of life. The base is buckram covered in raw silk, which is then hand painted. The wings are made of epoxy & fiberglass fabric with painted veins. The body of the dragonfly is made of foam, covered with silk & hand painted. Black glass beads & legs made of millinery wire come out from the middle of the belly of the plant. It is all affixed to a silk covered metal headband.
