Take a Word - Hat

I have a collection of books illustrated by Harrison Fisher.  I love his hatted ladies.   I've used one book cover and the illustration of another here, and a few elements (credit to Oscraps Ophelia) to finish the page.   I've always envied women who wear hats well.  Wearing a hat makes me feel rather silly for some reason.  Too much country in this girl, I guess!   Thanks for stopping by!

    We don't wear hats in Brazil, maybe in the beach... So I have this frustration, I don't even know how to wear them!
    Your collage is lovely and illustration you picked is so beautiful!

    Not only do I feel silly but I know I LOOK silly in a hat!
    I am amazed she has had ONE husband wearing that hat, they wouldn't be able to get 'close!'
    Your entry is so charming, Bev, love the vintage elements!

    Absolutely scrumptious. I wonder how those vintage ladies managed to hold their heads up high. The hat is nothing short of majestic and those beautiful, embroidered flowers are spectacular. I love everything about this lovely artpiece.

    Me too, Bev. I feel silly with a hat. Unless it's 40 degrees below zero. (which happens here) Then I don't feel silly at all. I just LOOK silly. This is lovely!

    I think when I was wearing a hat my whole environment would laugh out loud. I'm already glad that I'm able to fashion my hair every day LOL.
    Fantastic that you own these books as well Bev and you designed a very original piece with the cover and al elements. Bravo !!

    I love wearing hats, but not the big kind. This is a gorgeous piece, Bev. I can't figure out how those ladies used to get in and out of carriages or through a doorway. Elegant look, though.

    I'm not a hat wearer either but might have to make an exception for that one!.. Lovely.
