Description: Come join me for a fun journey into making a wearable book!  Using wire, fabric, recycled book pages, painting, collage and stitching you will create a fully functional one of a kind crown that tells a story.  This is a low tech mixed-media process that is appropriate for all skill levels.  It will be a fast paced workshop for those that like to work across a wide range of materials.  Techniques learned will enable you to expand on your own from this simple structure to even more bold story crowns.
