Description
This 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 Sarracenia pitcher plant, found primarily in North & South America. 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 statuesque hat is tall & graceful, like the plants themselves. The base of the hat is made of buckram with many layers of green stiffened silk on top of it to create a large, sweeping & perfectly fit onto the head shape, made more comfortable by a wool lining in the base.. The pitchers themselves are made of stiffened silk that has been shaped & stitched to create lifelike plants. Both the base & the pitchers are meticulously hand-painted to create a beautiful green to red ombre, complete with the visible veins famously found on pitcher plants. Perched on the top of one of the pitchers is a handmade fly who is about to meet his doom. At the base of the pitchers, there are hand sewn beads of glass & stone.
