Made in 2014 for a hat competition whose theme was the Smoky Mountains, this hat won for Best Interpretation of the Theme. One of the organizers sent images for inspiration, and I was struck by a beautiful photo of a cloudy blue sky behind the tall mountains covered in the changing colors of autumn.
The peaked blue sinamay base is beaded with fall colors. The layers of varying shades of blue and white silk and tulle evoke the cloudy blue sky.
