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

Art for your Head "Forest Flowers" Hat


Here is another of my hats.... it was inspired by the small forest flowers that
can be seen when the light filters through the tall trees of the forest. Llama & Merino fulled fleece, and i handspun some merino and locks for the embellishment and added bronze freshwater pearls.

It is a bit more conservative than most of my hats.... so it really WAS a
challenge for me to finish it. I almost ditched it until my daughter looked at
it and said, "I want one like that!".....
