And we have hat!

I'll post a more detailed entry following the construction process later; I need to figure out which of the approximately billion pics to use.



The inspiration image.

The side view is my favorite. I think it's very close to the inspiration image, though I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to putting a plume in the middle of it like that. What I need now is a hat pin, because all the trim is on the back and it tends to fly off the back of my head when I walk too fast. Maybe I could rig some sort of pully system . . .

I'm sorry the back view isn't nicer -- it's amazingly hard to take pictures of the back of your own head. The front view is actually it without trimming, but it looks exactly the same.

There are some more of the process in the gallery, though I still have to upload about ten. Most of them have notes, but not enough to explain how I put it together. If anyone has the burning need to see the huge original photos, let me know. I'll e-mail them to you or try to upload them.

Thank you! I'm very incredibly pleased with it.
