teensy green hat!!
Any photograph taken in the ladies' room of a moving ferry boat after 11:00 PM is going to be horrific. We all concede this point, yes? Nonetheless, because I have the patience of a gnat on speed, here is the first photo of the little green hat that I made in the Izzie Lewis Millinery class:
I see a little bobble where the sideband meets the tip right at the CF which I'm totally going to fix. I like the little hat too much to let that slide. I'm thrilled with my shot-in-the-dark ribbon flowers. Think how awesome they will be when I know what I'm doing!
I did notice something funny: When you are on a late night ferry boat wearing a bright yellow coat and a teensy green fascinator hat with four stripped ostrich feathers bobbling cheerfully with every step you take..... no one will look you in the eye.
I was assuming that I'd be the object of great amusement - or at least be something to stare at. It being really late (and I being really punchy by then) I decided to wear the hat for the egress anyway. Contrary to my expectations, a little green perchy hat and bright yello coat makes you just strange enough for people to really want to go out of their way to avoid you.
This amused me very much.
I need to make the hat a dress, don't you think? Or a green Chinese silk brocade corset or something. Tim voted for the corset. Raise your hand if you are surprised about that.
Anyway - hopefully more and better pictures to come, but I just wanted to share cause it is SO CUTE!!!!
