  • Officially introducing my model Lily.  She has modeled for me for years and I am forever grateful for her willingness to continue to sit for shoots as she grows up. I do realize Tigers have stripes and not spots, but calling this gossamer "Leopard Lily" sounds silly.  While the spotted flower comes in many colorful shades, the yellow lily symbolizes thankfulness and the desire for enjoyment.  I feel like that is perfect considering it is spring 2022 and the world opening up once again.  Being grateful for what the past two years has done for us and a desire to get out there once again and live a little more freely.  This Gossamer is indeed playful and ready for a vacation or a party or two!
  • The thing about felt making is that although you have a vision and you set up what you're making very carefully and skillfully, you never really know how it is going to turn out.  There is a "letting go" of control when feltmaking, and when you reveal what you've  made, I call it a "no whammies" reveal.  A little hope and a prayer each time.  ;) This hat turned out EXACTLY as I'd planned.  I couldn't have placed the print better, as the hood (felt shape) was destined for this vintage turban block.  The felt is light, thin and even, as you would expect with such a topper.  It exudes luxury and is for the woman who is a confident hat-wearer.  This hat WILL turn heads and say to the onlooker that you are a woman who is sure of yourself.  Casual and dressy, this hat can take you from the market to an evening out.
  • When you wear a hat or any fashion that "fits" physically and stylistically you stand taller, feeling more secure and confident.  You know today is going to be a good day...equal to a great hair day or simply driving when all the traffic lights turn green as you commute to work. Deborah is one of those "sure thing" additions to your wardrobe.    She's luxurious to feel and looks like a foreign fabric, perhaps fur.  People won't believe she's handmade felt with her muted colors and subtle patterns.  The hint of animal print on the edge, she will support any look you want, be it casual or on a night out.  You won't have to say a word with her on, people will take note of it promoting the beautiful you...  She's a woman of action and few words.

    This is a feminine take on the traditional men's bowler hat.  The felt reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, in her polka-dot dress at the Polo field.  The throwback feeling of the fabric dress used in this hat has me nostalgic for a simpler time and a delightful romcom movie.  While the silk material is fused with merino wool to make the hat, a simple strip of silk is used to highlight the hatband on this one-of-a-kind hat.  Simple covered buttons detail the side of the hat band in understated classic style.
