i found this vintage hat last weekend. i usually get such a great price from the dealers since lots of these old hats are squashed and faded. i take them apart and use the flowers, leaves, net, and silks in my art work. this hat inspired the color scheme for a paper quilt submission that i sent off today.
i dropped it off at the photo lab for a large format scan and really missed the piece in my studio.
this is the second submission i have sent off in a month! the waiting part is the hardest. . .

LOVE the color palette in these photos. That hat is absolutely fabulous! Your work is wonderful. Good luck on the submissions. That felt looks so warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteNo images for me, either. But in the mean time, I just wanted to let you know that I stumbled upon your blog and I am having fun reading your archives. I'll be back to see the hat images...
ReplyDeletei have no idea why the pictures keep popping off and on. i think it is a server problem.
ReplyDeletehopefully tomorrow everything comes up ok.
happy friday, Julie
