Bob Mackie #1 by Alexandra Zorn, Pennsylvania, USA Materials used: Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in Onyx, elastic thread, silver foil sequins.Crystal Palace adjustable bamboo circulars size US#8, Bryspun Flexible dpns US#8, one Big Eye beading needle, one tapestry needle. Oh, and one clear foil lined Rochaille glass bead. Special Techniques: Nothing in particular, just basic beaded knitting. Artist's Statement: This is my first sequined project, although I've been bead knitting for a little while now. I love the campy effect – sequins occupy a liminal state between cool and tacky. If used the right way, they are an easy and interesting way to dress up an old standard. If overdone, you end up looking like a 1970's Cher. Anyway, this hat is very simple, yet I think it's appealing in both it''s simplicity and it's sparkle. What's more important is that I learned alot about design and aesthetic while making this hat, and I'm looking forward to making more in variations on this theme. For Sale: maybe Judges Notes: We agree.
