Cofano Tempo

Sorry 'bout the horrifying model...  The photo room at studio was disassembled and my "dress form" is sort of... dilapidated.

Piega Formando!

Hurrah!  These were pretty interesting to make, I especially like the large one in front.  I want to start making compound curves to see what happens next.  Hopefully I can incorporate these into my project.  Also, I'm really hoping I can afford to buy a book on fold forming when I get paid next week.  Eating's overrated, right?

Campione Cucchiai

Crazy spoons I made as samples for forming.  They're pretty wonky....

Cofano Modello Misterioso

Been trying to work out the pattern for the bonnet I posted earlier:

I'm having trouble figuring out how this was put together.  I've asked my millinery professor, and what he thinks is different from my guesses here, but he's also said he's not quite sure how it was done.   It'd be helpful of there were other images of it.

Fiori Finti può Essere un po '"Furbo"

Sometimes hat class makes me do silly things...

Forbici!

Mmmhmm!  I'm thinking steel blades (NOT looking forward to cutting that...) with handles of carved dark hardwood and cast silver.   Mmmmmmmm materials.....

Scuse e Cappelli Orrendi

Well as anyone who might happen to read my blog may have noticed, my plan to do 10 posts a month has been shot to hell.  I'm actually rather disappointed in myself, but the reasons it happened are out of my control.  So, I'm going to do some back-posting of images I've been collecting that inspire me.

This post, however, will have some hideous hats I've made in my millinery class thus far.  Enjoy!
