Daisy's Hat




This is another found hat. A friend gave me the cloche with some ghastly metallic, stretch lame glued on it which I removed. Then I needed a hat for "The Adding Machine" set in the 20's. The concept of the show was black and white--in a uniform but grotesque way. This character is the love interest. So when she goes to leave the office she puts on this hat with a bit of color. Later when she was dead she is in heaven in a bright red dress. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to use only what I have. I've had this dotted grosgrain ribbon since I was a toddler and wore my hair in pigtails. One ribbon is the band, one ribbon is the bow with a plain red satin ribbon for accent. The actress is Stacy Fisher.
