Millinery Australia’s Design Award showcases innovative design and high-quality millinery skills. The theme for the competition was Counter Balance. I decided to enter for the first time this year but found the theme to be quite challenging…
I took inspiration from counterbalanced stone stacks.

Some behind the scenes work in progress shots…





Here is the final result… the larger lower discs and pearls counterbalance the weight of the upper discs to create a structure that defies gravity. I also used the relationship of counterbalance in yin and yang in my design to counterbalance the light and dark colour theme.
