The Best Advertising.....

I have got to say that some of the best advertising is seeing someone wearing one of your creations... at least for me. I started to put together a collection of "Wearers of my Hats & Things" and will hopefully get it done soon... but here are several pics (the two on top were sent to me the other day and I am so happy to have them!). The two bottom pics are two of my favorites from a young woman, who not only has excellent taste in hats, but also happens to be a photographer.

2008 was Busy....

2008 was busy... but not as busy as last year. Thought I'd post the "Last Year" pic. These pieces were made in 2008 and it is not all of them (there were doubles and triples and quads made of some of the Attitude Hats) and it doesnt include any 'personal' knitting for myself or family. Hope you all have a peaceful, lucrative and healthy new year!

Sometimes you just got to get the YA YA's out...

This is a frantic time of year for me. That being said, it is also the time of year that I crave making my more Wearable Art pieces. Of course this urge occurs between the frantic-ness of the season, the craziness of everything else going on. Go figure..... There comes a space... it happens when I have done all I can with existing things, procrastinated enough (cleaned off my work table, done the dishes and ambled around complaining about not having enough coffee).... then comes the 'breather space'. It all gels. It all comes together. My fingers do what they are told, my juices are flowing, nothing intrudes, the music sounds good, the colors reflect correctly, there is some peace in my mind (the gremlins have quieted down a bit) and voila'... a creation takes shape, calls to me, comes to fruition.

Please meet Art For Your Head "Evocateur"

In Progress...

I started this hat shape last year..... and have watched it at a distance since then. I wasnt happy with what it was, but yesterday she called to me........... and she will be fine :) after re-working, i am now content with the shape and have started working on the details.... the ripples, the dents, the layers........... i am pleased with the thought of this on a head........... for me.......... this is where it starts...........

  Art For Your Head "Cirrus III"

She seems to be my most popular colourway.....  She will be going to a new home in New Zealand :)  More pics here :  http://DreamWoven.com/AFYHCirrusIII.htm

     

Art For Your Head "Ambrato"

Art For Your Head "Ambrato"

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.  For more pics please see:  http://DreamWoven.com/HatsWrapsAlone.htm 
and click on the pic.

Soon to be available at:
