Spring Hat

17 years ago

I've been kind of bummed out. Thot was going to take some things to campgrounds at my cousins camper in April. But seems the campgrounds is not having this event this year. I have made BBs, signs, totems >>>>>>>>> Oh well, so decided to do something for myself. So I bought this glass piece awhile back. It wasn't until I was cleaning it that the light bulb came on(garden hat). Sometimes I am a little slow.LOL Then I needed something to raise it a little and plopped it on this yellow vase. Time went by and almost done with hat when I sat back and discovered that the vase was face shaped. So now it need to find the body. Still looking thru my stuff. Oh eyes,ears,nose and face are still in the works. Whatcha think?{{gwi:132916}}{{gwi:132916}}{{gwi:132917}}{{gwi:132918}}

That is really cute. Was the glass piece originally a light fixture? Can't wait to see pics of it in your garden. Why not use the garden stuff that you had planned to sell to decorate around your cousins campsite? you may be surprised at how much you sell with very little effort. I have found that I sell more of my stuff just by using it than I do when I enter shows.

That's one of the cutest things I've seen!! It's quite striking as it stands.

I can hardly wait to see what you do with it! It's so Easter-y!

Love your spring hat! I too like the face without features. Then you can use your imangination on what her expressions would be. Maybe just put her head on a bust & she can be the lady of the garden.

What a gorgeous Easter bonnet! When you started thinking of making features on her and creating a body, I thought, I am not artistic enough to make a good looking face on anything. lol! So I wouldn't try it. But you just might have the talent for it. If I attempted it, she would look like Alice the Goon from the old Popeye cartoons. lol! So what I'd do is pretend the vase is like a stand to show off the hat. Kind of like the mannequin heads in stores that have no features. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! he-he It just depends upon how artistic you are. If the face would look amateurish, it would detract from the prettiness of the hat. I think it is beautiful just the way it is!

Now I will look at the glass light fixture shades a little differently! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!

Well gosh folks you humble me with all you compliments. Thank you, you have made my day. I'm not sure this was alight fixture, too plain. May have been but sure fit the bill for a hat. Again thanks

She is absolutely adorable. I'm picturing a set of false eyelashes and a pearl choker. She reminds me of the Deco-style ladies.

I walked out the door and 'found' a hat! I picked up a large,
round-bottomed, glass candle holder that sits in a
stand, at a sale. I had put it out in the sun, upside down
so the candle remnants would melt out. I don't think it is quite
as deep as yours, but still looks like a hat. If I wasn't so slow and
lazy, I could do it in a day probably--LOL
Don't hold your breath!!!! Inspriration I get from here every
day---Motivation is something I seem to be lacking
lately.
