Mini Top Hat - A Midsummer Night's Dream

I, for one, I am dreaming of summer festivals, backyard lanterns and bare feet. I am so glad C came along with her gorgeous wedding details in Persian purple and monochromatic blues. Mosses, branches, whimsical bow ties for the boys and, of course, tea pots! (A girl after my own heart!)


I am fairly certain that every mother secretly wants to see her daughter in a veil. I wore two veils as I walked down the aisle to appease everyone. True story. To me: this french net is the perfect compromise. It is tucked within the flowers to give it natural, full look then cascades along the side and bottom of the brim to give the illusion and certainly the feel of wearing a bird cage veil. (I tried this on and gasped. I am now planning my 678th wedding..)



I created a ruffle from both dupioni silks to keep with the elegant feel C is going for. It also acts as a little flower cone for the spray of purple flowers. Details! Details!

It shouldn't be a hard transition today to work on Faerie hats for the festival!
p.s. - If you are in the Maryland area or are a faerie lovin', travelin' gnome: You get a FREE PASS to the Faerie Festival when you become a Two Back Flats fan on Facebook.

Spring 2011 by Two Back Flats

Hello you colorful, gorgeous people! Consider this your official sneak peek into whats happening here for Spring!


Every time I make a new hat, I think it is my favorite of all time! Who knows what will happen next, but this tiny top hat is the apple of my eye. Created from scratch using up-cycled navy blue and white striped fabric. My husband's very own yellow bandanna (don't worry, washed and pressed first ;) Stunningly bright and colorful foam and paper flowers with hints of vintage lace. Making this hat 65% recycled!!!

Picnics and garden parties anyone?!

Wishing you a bright, sunny weekend!
Love,
Jas

Very good things

Making tons of tiny hats and gearing up for a Faerie Festival in March! Which means I'm spending the day with my most fun friend, The Martha Stewart glitter kit. Only good things can come of this.


Speaking of good things, this wedding dress is the very core of why I adore what I do and why I adore my customers even more. I dare you to not be inspired by this.

Thanks for the extra pretty today C! Just cannot wait to make a hat for this dress.

Life is good. Happy Happy Beautiful Friday friends!
