Well here is my latest. I know I dont come around a whole lot anymore, but I still love to check out things and share some of my stuff!

a little background....

I found the Old Tandy Aristocrat Hat pattern and thot it would be a great class for my store...and it was the class filled in less than a day with anxious students. We all picked a theme and went to work... Mine was Alice in Wonderland with a Pin up twist!

I hope y'all like it... It was my first but definately not my last! I have five or six designs drawn up and plan on doing them all!

Thanks for all the compliments! I was very happy with the way it turned out!

And yes Tina, the colors came out wonderfully!!! lots of mixing and washing, but I'm really happy with the result!

as far as the pattern....I will try to get some copies made when i get settled in my new place! I am sure I could let my friends borrow an old pattern that I have without any problems! :grouphug5vj5:

I'm thinking I have to do one with my neo sheridan designs, and i want to make one that is all black <GASP> but carved... I hate black! but you gotta have one that is all black for dressing up you know!

I'm looking forward to the carved Sheridan version, that should look cool!

Very cool idea and design. Would love to have that pattern laying around. I like the ten/six card added to it, good thought.

Go ask Alllice, when she's ten feet tall! Makes me want to chase caterpillars. Whoa, almost got lost in the ozone again. Great work, but I don't remember Alice looking like that. :jawdropper:

That is one great hat. I smiled at that one for sure.

I also would love the pattern when you are set and ready to pass it on

I have a friend would just love something like that.

You did a great job on it.

Hey Frog. I remember you showing me that when it was in process while I was asking you for some pointers on motorcycle seats. It looked awesome then and now it even looks nicer complete. BTW, thanks for pointing me to this forum as well.

Hey !! I just saw one just like it in the local PHOENIX AZ. Tandy store!!! It looks even better in person!!

You were not in the store when I stopped by, Andy said you were getting settled in (looking for a place to live) ect...

I will stop by to meet you, I have admired your work in photos here on LW.net it is even better in person!

The hat looks so COOL!!
