Hats. Hats and Hats

 Have gradually been getting back into the swing of things. I've been getting caught up on projects and managing to stay focused a bit more. Still looking for that magic way to STAY FOCUSED. Basically I have way to many ideas milling around in my head at all times. That is the end of my Whinging about Focus for this post. (Whinging is one of my favourite British words)

For the month of May Hats will be my focus. Hats are an obsession recently be it sewing them for other people, making them for dolls or acquiring a new one for myself. Hats can also have so many accessories themselves- hatboxes, feathers, hatbands, hatpins, hat stands. The goal of May is to create an item related to a hat or a hat itself each day of May. Some will be for humans, some for dolls and perhaps even some for my dog. 

For the last bit I have been experimenting with 3D prints of crowns in a variety of sizes and styles. The nylon filiment constantly prints with fine strings on the crowns but it just adds for some creativity potential. I have been doing some troubleshooting to correct this problem but I also kinda like the effect. Am considering adding some spiders to complete the cobweb effect, those crowns could be the perfect addition to a more sinister doll. So far I have much better luck using PLA filiment or Eco Abs filiment. The world of 3D printing is a newer interest of mine and there is a lot to learn.

Another goal this month is to update this blog as it has sat neglected for quite a while. My creative output has definitely changed since moving to Seattle so a reboot of everything is necessary.
