Hats, Hats and more Hats




Despite my relentless headache today I am still in search of ideas for hats and gloves and such. I have made about 24 hats total now and I plan on making many more. Life is hectic though. You never know how much stuff you can accomplish in one day until you pressure yourself to do more than the usual amount. As quoted from a Empire Records "...There are 24 usable hours in everyday". Some of my recent hat ideas have been good, but I feel that there aren't any golden ones yet. I have made cupcakes, spiderman, monsters, animals and the like but I feel I am in need of the classic hats. The adults will require it I'm sure. In ever person there is a childish spirit but rarely after the age of 30 do you see anyone act on it. In lou of that I pledge to never give up my creative spirit...I will continue to watch cartoons, my friends. Because with out smiles and laughter the world is no longer a magical place.

Dead Feeeeeesh hat

Can one person ever have too many hats? The answer, my friend, is no. I am on a roll. I have made around 15 hats and a few pairs of fingerless mittens. I am completely stoked that they are selling and that people want to wear them. I would have never imagined that someone would wear my art. Spring is in the air and the sun has arrived. I am ready to get excited about everything again including my art. I have painted a few pieces lately and they turned out beautiful. I have been trying to keep myself busy inside during this never ending winter but now that I see a break in the clouds all I want to do is play in the sun

Ridiculous Hat Making Extravaganza






I am on a hat making craze. My friend Katie requested that I help her at a booth for Ocktober Fest in Asheville, NC this year and I have accepted. I have also received several inquiries and one order for theses hats. I need more ideas for hats though. I am pushing them out as fast as I can but I am short on ideas. I don't really want to copy what is already out there. I would like each and everyone to be original and unique. For now I have to settle on what I have seen and go from there. It is going to be a busy year with lots of exciting things. I have 2 mini vacations and one long vacation planned for my last year in my twenties and it is turning out to be an exciting year so far. Keep your fingers crossed. I just might make some cash off this big adventure.
