I forgot to put this here! I bead wrapped the brim with frosted neons and used glow in the dark rhinestone banding with neon rhinestones too. It took me four days on and off but worth it.

Aaand the beaded wide-brim hat! 😋 The public version is with fire colors — mine matches my dress 🎀
Yoruba beaded crown, 1900s, Nigeria.
Very happy with how it turned out, even if it didn't go the way I wanted or end up where I planned!
Finally able to post this beauty. I donated a custom beaded had to a fundraiser back in December and the lady who won wanted her personal hat done so she sent it across the country to me to work on. Traditional florals <3
I post most of my beadwork a lot more consistently on instagram so if you want to see that sort of thing I'm beads_and_borks there.
I gave this slick number to a growing musician, we had a good talk about beadwork and traditional styles and colours and this hat came to mind. It fit him and so the universe spoke and it was his.
