Leather Hat 1

Published:

Description

The idea I got for this hat came from the illustrated Spiderwick Cronicles Beast book. One of the house Brownies (mmmm a brownie sounds delicious right now) has this terrific leather hat that's shaped like a mushroom ([link])

Once I began developing it the design just took of on its own coarse. I made the mushroom top into a cone and pushed it over to a side. I put a band around it and a ribbon on the back. The whole thing was hand sewn and to get it to the shape I soaked it in water and then formed it while on my head.

It's dyed vegetable tanned leather with brass dee rings at the back and ribbon on the bow.

xD I would like to see the part where you formed it on your head, I bet that was a sight to see.
