Meanwhile Back in my Studio
Home again here in the beautiful Blue Mountains on the first day of Winter. I was woken by the thuds of a neighbour splitting wood so got up stoked the fire and finished another hat for my shop "Omnia a little bit of everywhere".
My mission at the moment is to finish off all unfinished projects in my studio so I can move onto some new designs that are rattling away in my brain.
Last week I finished this hat which I re blocked from an old wool felt hat and turned into a cloche.
I put it in my shop and it only lasted 24 hours when it was bought by a woman with lovely long blonde hair.
My hats are all hand made and hand stitched using all the traditional techniques I was taught many years ago.
The hat I finished today was re blocked from an old 1950's beret style hat into my favourite 60's style hat then after wiring the edge and binding it I trimmed it with this 1940's grograin ribbon from the 1940's. I have been saving this piece of ribbon for the right hat and this was the one. The wooden bucle was recycled from an old hand bag from the 1970's. Voila!!!
