How it behaves
- Becomes flexible when damp, allowing it to be shaped or blocked
- Dries hardened to shaped structured forms
- Metallic shimmer to finish piece
- The open weave allows the material to hold shape without adding weight to forms.

Structured forms, hats and fascinators.
Traditionally used in millinery to block. Equally effective in theatrical or costume sculptural designs and decorative elements.
Not ideal for
