art for your head "ambrato"

About the hat:

This hat is a freeform creation done with a combination of techniques.... felting (fulling)and needle felting. She is made from bits and pieces of fulled (felted) merino, alpaca, llama.... needle felted to achieve the 3 dimensional quality (the ridges and ruffles in the back)... I used an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous amber ("Ambrato"), honey, butterscotch, hand dyed merino as the accenting colour to the different shades of greys and browns. The embellishment of the domed vintage wood button (very reminiscent of the contours of the hat itself) along with the handsewn Adventurine beads, makes for a wonderful focal point.

It is similar to a cloche style hat but without the overall 'bellshape', Somewhat futuristic, somewhat steampunk-ish, but most definitely a 2000's hat. A little bit old, a whole lot of new. She is graceful, hand-formed... dramatic with much attitude. She is warm but lightweight, funky and elegant.

The hat measures approx. 11.5" (29.2 cm) when laid flat. For reference only, the mannequin heads are 21" (53.3 cm) in circumference. Please take the time to measure your head by using a measuring tape around your crown, going around the largest part of your head.

Price: $300 USD
