I wanted to celebrate the Holiday Season by designing in two of my favorite Seasonal colors, cranberry red and emerald green. I have coupled the colors with purples, gold and teal to create a delicious palette of holiday cheer! I think I love these colors because they remind me of the Holidays! I also wanted to design something for everyones tastes.
The first hat is a large gorgeous "Hallmark" of a hat. I wanted to create something that made me feel like every Christmas and Holiday story makes me feel around this time of the year. The hat is large, I have created a small head block that I used to shape the crown of the hat, and the brim is all hand shaped. The front of the hat is adorned with lots of ribbons, berries and other holiday finds. I design the doll hats, using the same philosophy I use for designing for my human clients hats, by creating lots of interest in the front and bringing attention to the face. I think you will agree that this hat would make a great addition to a fabulous wardrobe!
The second hat is emerald green. It looks like the perfect hat to wear on a sleigh ride! It has a large turned up brim, which I have decorated with a Holiday plaid ribbon, berries a gold holiday trim and swarovski crystals are sewn into the berries in front. The front brim is turned up and sewn into place. The back looks just like the hood "little red riding hood" wood love! Just perfect for a sleigh ride!
The third hat is one of my trade mark designs. I have designed a modern, architectural twist on a traditional Edwardian design. This hats brim is one large piece, twisted and sewn into shape. In the back are sinnamay roses, hand shaped and sewn around the crown. Of course this hat would be a dramatic statement for any occasion.
Lastly are three whimsical shaped hats. They are blocked and then I have hand shaped them to sit on top of your dolls head. The brim is cut and left with a raw edge which ads to the humor of the design. They are fun and quirky and would make the perfect focal point for any Holiday outfit.
