One from a serie
July 16, 2009
As promised, one of my hats.
Its fun to make hats. They are small, you can test your materials or test the ability to make forms, shapes and small sculptures on them,. You can make them wearable, almost wearable or absolutely unwearable.
I made a couple of hats with Horns and Antlers and called the serie ´Horns´, will post more pictures later on. I used flat resists, and have them now in all shapes and sizes. with one horn, two, three or four. I used red and yellow merino but most of them are in white, greys and blacks. Norwegian wool, shetland, Leicester, scottish and wool from Ireland.
We had so much fun one day when a young man from America visited our town and fell in love with one of these hats, bought it, put it on and cycled through town wearing it.
This one is made with Norwegian and Leicester wool. I used it in an exhibit this year at the Revolution 100.000.000etc Gallery.
