In front of a white painted brick wall, on a large rock is a shiny brown ‘wig head’ (head shape) wearing a black hat.
The hat is made of cellophane and dates from middle last century - plaited shiny & patterned cellophane so lots of nice textures.
Here we look down slightly at the centre front - the crown is a plain dome, the large brim of the hat is folded up over the wearer’s left eye - some mostly Matt black trim (it’s lace and braid ) emerges from a hole in the brim and curls off to the side. I would like to think that curl is rather elegant 😉
Here we are looking down - in close up - on a black hat - it is In front of a white painted brick wall, red brick garden pavers underneath. We can just see the shiny nose of the brown ‘wig head’ (head shape) under the hat.
The hat is made of cellophane and dates from middle last century - plaited shiny & patterned cellophane so lots of nice textures.
The large brim of the hat is turned up at the front & at the back (not evenly though - it’s quite organic) and here we see the trim at the side going round the crown …
There is black lace, black braid with little sequins on the edge and a bit of black satin ribbon - just because I had it in the stash (and I knew that 3inch bit of ribbon would be useful one day!)
A not-too-casual but definitely not serious hat with a lot of textures.
Renovated my old ‘Witch’s Hat’ - it still looks witchy but perhaps she’s a more prosperous witch these days. It’s a vintage cellophane capeline - floppy brim turned up and stitched there in 2 places - black trims from my stash. #millinery #hatmaking #recyle #upcycle
