We are heading too quickly into winter here in Vermont. Wishing to rewind to summer and tiger lillies. Added a couple to this hat. I kind of like it. Seola still pouting, but she is to have a new wig soon, and a dress, perhaps, if Yve gets out that old sewing machine, and I am quite certain she will be much, much happier.
This hat goes out to a good friend in North Wales. I was wanting to do something different for my BJD, Seola, and this is what I came up with. As another friend suggested, maybe I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes? Actually I was looking through a book on women's fashions from the Victorian era, and was trying to remember how to make a bandeau, which is a wired piece that goes under a hat that wouldn't normally fit the head, and gives the hat a lift (in this case, lifting up in the back) and at the same time holds the hat to the head. This was fun to do. I hope to do more in a similar style.
I've got a really fun hat going out today for a really fun gal, who commissioned me to do a Steampunk hat for her Blythes. Poor Seola is still pouting about not having gone to the Vampire Ball, so I put her in the hat, at the suggestion of my friend, Yve, to cheer her up a bit. Still pouting! What's up with that doll?!
