Cup by cup its complete

Today the March Hare hat got all the crochet elements finished and I must say I am rather happy with the result. The third cup was made by following the first four rows of the small sample cup and then seven rows of single stitch crochet in each loop.  Like the other two I have decorated the cup with blue ribbon but varied the design so that each is unique. Each of the tea cups balance on top of each other well, however I shall have to monitor this and see if a central wire is needed to help stabilise. The green ribbon is slightly chunkier than the original black ribbon and helps tie together the outfit. It also draws your attention to the hat, creating a focus. The hat will need a chin strap as the actress shall be bouncing around the field, this can be measured and placed at the next fitting. All that is left to do is add some buttons around the ribbon once Elizabeth has found some that she feels ties in well with the hat and make the ears which shall sit either side of the hat. The ears shall be added once we have scrap material left over from the fake fur breeches. These shall then be made with a milk bottle for support and felt covering to hide any jagged edges.
