Members Leerwerker Posted May 20, 2009 Members Report Posted May 20, 2009 Well, A naked top hat is no good, so I made the first of many planned themed hatbands so that I can wear the hat at certain occasions like Halloween, St Paddy's day, Christmas, etc. This one is for the Fourth of July, when some South Africans get together here in the Twin Cities for a "Potjie Kos Dag". (Dutch Oven Food Day). That is why the Potjie is front center on the hat band. As you might have read elsewhere, the floral design part was self drawn after learning a bit about the use of scrolls.

And did you day Dutch Oven, Sorry I am only familiar with one type of Dutch Oven and I am afraid it is unpleasant to say the least. Well, there is no real American term for this Potjie - the South African version has three long legs and has been popular since our pioneers used it on their move north into Africa (and before that). Today it is a big deal and some real incredible dishes come out of those.
