Abalone Shell headpiece inspired by the harry Hill film I saw 2years ago

Abalone Shell headpiece inspired Sheridan Smith role in the Harry Hill Movie.

A little history of how it came about, two years ago I sat in the cinema with a group of children, I was taking care of at the summer holiday after school club. We were watching The Harry Hill Movie, Sheridan Smith was the daughter of the shell king and the shell people who lived under the sea were all shell covered. I remember thinking the costumes were really fascinating.




Once polished abalone shells  sea are perfect bases to use as a hat base, they are large enough to be a cocktail hat, and light in weight., For embellishment I added millinery flowers, Swarovski crystals to add more sparkle, and some Botswana sea shells.
That is how an Abalone sea shell became a headpiece.
