This hat has an 80's gold "trophy wife" dress fused with black wool. All the beads and sequins draped over the crown of the hat reminds me of molten gold. A showstopper piece, this can be worn casually to a market, a function or a night out. The crown features an indented swoosh that highlights the movement of the beads across the hat. One-of-a-kind, this hat is a head-turner from every angle. -

I don't know about you, but given today's social isolation precautions, I am finding moments of joy in the small activities in my house. While felting in my kitchen I typically stream dance music, and find myself singing and dancing to some great tunes. Nothing gets me happier than a view, the sun, good music and felt making. This hat is a kitchen sink style cloche, which while sensible and covers your ears, also conveys moments of joy! The piece has several different silks all colliding on one hat, a style of hat I've termed "The Kitchen Sink". In the 1920's there was an actress Gilda Gray who popularized the "shimmy" dance. I believe she would have worn this hat fabulously. Combined with her beauty, European exoticism and willingness to shake her stuff on stage, Gilda was seen as unconventional, slightly dangerous, and emblematic of a new generation ready to party. -

I have had this beaded silk material for years. Sometimes I let silks sit a year or two until I realize the amazing hat I want to make with them. Recently while thrift shopping I picked up a black and navy floral scarf that I intended to offer to my niece for her hat. On closer inspection I realized that it was a perfect match for the beaded flower silk, and I scooped it up for myself! This is the resulting hat, a GORGEOUS hat from all angles, the beads and sequins and sculptural elements. Subtle yet glamorous, it can be dressed up for a night out and worn casually with a high-neck sweater to get your morning coffee... -

The silk for this gossamer hat was up-cycled from a very intricately beaded silk blouse. SO vibrant with fabulous detail, this hat reminds me of my garden right now (August)! Heaps of colorful perennials providing pollen and nectar to honeybees, hummingbirds and various other flying insects. I will often sit quietly and watch the action around my garden beds, witnessing the little ecosystem and marveling in its beauty. That feeling, that "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh", is what this hat does to me. Capture summer and take that feeling of calm and warmth with you into your winter and fall seasons with this gorgeous gossamer hat.
