Froghunter Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 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! Quote

Members Tina Posted August 2, 2009 Members Report Posted August 2, 2009 Love, love love you hat Frog It puts a huge smile on my face. The color's great, very "happy" and please, let us see the others to come... Quote
Members David Fields Posted August 2, 2009 Members Report Posted August 2, 2009 Very nice theme and the bright colors are wonderful. I don't believe I've ever seen Alice look any hotter! :D Quote
Members DarkDreamsLeather Posted August 2, 2009 Members Report Posted August 2, 2009 I love it! Quote
Ambassador freak Posted August 2, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted August 2, 2009 great job brotha !! Love seeing these leather top hats. Love the theme and all you've done with it. Excellent work all around. Where can i find these top hat patterns??? I sooooo wanna make some. Quote
Froghunter Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Posted August 2, 2009 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! 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! Quote
