Covering the cage in net

Once the cage padding was complete, I was able to cover the cage in brown tutu net, which would provide an attachment for the hair wefts. This was something I found hard when working on my Specialist Practise project. The brown tutu net was quite weak, and I found this made it quite stretchy and could not be put under too much tension, but will hold the weight required if attached correctly. I was able to stitch the net onto the points covered in ribbon around different points of the cage. This worked well and served a good purpose. The tutu net formed a lot of darts, coherent with the circular shape of the structure. I did not avoid these as it will not effect the purpose of the cage, and is the way in which the net naturally falls.
The process of covering the cage took a lot longer than my last two attempts in SP, however this was done to a high standard, which was worth the time for the more accurate better developed outcome. I am pleased with the structure and looking forward to covering the cage and developing it further.
