Name of Hat
Sunny Disposition

Description

Whenever I see a field of sunflowers my mood immediately brightens. I printed Lycra fabric with personal photographs of Sunflowers growing in a Botanical Garden. The bee reminds me that all is transitory as is happiness but when experienced it is everlasting in memory. Truly a sunny hat that elevates the wearer’s mood whenever she wears it.

  • Hand printed Lycra fabric

  • Bumble bee
  • Printed yellow sinamay

Techniques:

  • Wired and shaped Sinamay

  • Fabric Flowers and Bumble Bee attached
  • Braid Straw
