I love to see women who have the confidence to wear them!
I found this picture in a vintage Vouge book about hats. I first collaged hand written letter in the background. I then layered some rose tissue paper that came in a gift I got my wife from the Brighten store. I copied the picture form the vogue book and colored it with colored pencils because it was black and white. I then scattered some silver embossing beads and warmed them with the embossing gun. When the silver was nice and melted I placed a ascot label that I found on the Graphic Fairy's website. After every thing had cooled and dried I went over it several times with mat medium and fished it all off with a couple of layers of clear acrylic.
Here it is double matted and ready for a frame...
Last year I took a mission trip to Jamaica. It was so much fun and I really enjoyed myself. While I was there I was able to attend a church service where all of the women wore hats... Here in the states we don't dress like that. I love that British influence on their culture. I have several pictures of the women in their hats and I keep thinking I will do a series of atc's of women in hats and find a way to incorporate those pictures.
I hope this atc brings as much joy to your heart as it did to mine when I was creating it. There is something about her that intrigues me. I just wish I could meet her and hear her story.
