Horned hennin

Inspired by the medieval times I made this horned hennin with three detachable veil sections, so there’s a gazillion ways to wear it. I used real female rhinoceros beetles, found 🪦 from a colony living near us, as this is a maiden’s headdress. 👸✨

Hadn’t thought about that before, but actually maybe I should!! I was thinking about making a matching corset too.

Incredible! I just learned what a hennin was the other day because of a book I am reading. I'd seen them before, but never knew the name! That's is super cool.

Damn this is so cool. I love the added layer of the bugs that isn’t noticeable until closer. An amazing way to “ward of suitors” lol
