I was inspired by some of Ravens older headdresses and decided to make my own! this was the end result.

I'm considering putting them up on etsy after I return from my travels in the end of June. Does anyone think it would be a good buy? I'd also be up for adding more wiring and other decorations.

I definitely think it will stay on. Its rather snug on my head so I dont see why not. I did use a real starfish (the little one) so I need tp waterproof that

I like it! The only thing I'd say is that for Etsy, if you want them to sell well, to make the wire look more like a smooth wave. (a little bit more polished and uniform) You've got a really good eye for combining the different elements of starfish, shell, greenery, etc.. The composition and arrangement are very cool!
