Inca "Winter" - for 2009!

Inca "Winter"

About the hat:

A simple beauty, but exquisitely full of details. Ridges and lacework run around the back perimeter and it is embellished with two tassels.

This is a beautiful, soft and luscious combination of the finest Alpaca, Silk and Merino in a lovely Cream color. Warm yet delicately light. It is one of the few hats that I make that is totally crochet and one of the few designs I will do in a solid colour.

The hat measures approx. 11" (27.9 cm) when laid flat (at the widest point and approx. 8" (20.3 cm) from top to the point right above the ridges. For reference, the mannequin head is 21" (53.3 cm). There is stretch due to its construction and it can fit a variety of sizes. My head measures approx. 24" with all of my hair and it fits wonderfully. Please measure your head and send me your measurements if you have a question about whether this hat will fit you.

It is a stunning statement, but remember....it can cause "Specialness" and you will always have to be ready for that!

Inca "Winter" is available through 1000Markets or my website.

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!".....
