le chat !

i have managed to combine two of my favorite things.....cats and hats. brilliant!    >^.^<

it is made from lovely soft faux fur, with tartan lining and tartan in the ears. its incredibly warm and keeping me nice and cosy in this english winter. tho i have been told i may be a bit too old to wear this in public (whatev).

i might try and play around with this design and make it a bit longer, maybe different kinds of ears (any suggestions welcomed..)

....fascinating....

i've been playing around with some fascinator designs....very simple but i'm quite excited about it! i can see this being my next obsession!

typically they are all black and red, but that was subconsious and the next i'll try experiment with....gasp.....other colours. anyway. these are:

* a black teardrop with lacy bow and red ribbon

* red/black lace heart with black ruffles (kind of reminds me of garters and bustle....waaaaoow!)

* my favourite, red sequinned heart <3

the sequins took ages, but i love the result. they all also included parts made with my new gluegun.....my fingers are paying for the burns from their non-coordination.....
