Having Bes-Ben’s artistic approach to hat creation in mind, I combined the traditional materials and techniques of hat making with the modern methodology.
 
I implemented this idea by using the exposed deconstruction elements and also 3D printed shapes for the crown and brim.
 
The delicate tail shape on top of the crown also was completed using 3D printer. My creation began by designing a pointed shape crown and rounded brim using the computer softwares (Thinker CAD & Meshmixer).
 
The material used by 3D printer is PVA plastic material. To construct the main base of the hat, the crown and brim were attached together. The tail shape was also mounted on top of the main base. To achieve continuation, the mustard yarn was passed through the core of the tail.
 
The yarn was carried over the crown and ended at the edge of brim. To emphasize the deconstruction method, the floral wires that were used to decorate, were left exposed. The black felt which is inside the hat has been reverse blocked from inside of the 3D crown to get its pointed shape.
 
Hence the blocking process was done in the opposite way as a usual blocking. Pearls, beads and decorative assemblages which were used by Bes-Ben a lot are completing the hat decoration.
 
Each hat may have slight variations due to its handcrafted nature, making yours truly unique.
