Challenge 51-Out of a Hat

A very warm welcome to my blog-always great to read what you say about the things that I make. We have snow and ice here again this morning so I won't be venturing far.

Another Thursday already-hope your week has gone well and you are ready to join us for another challenge at Out of a Hat

This week the challenge is Easter Bonnet so you can do anything at all that has a fancy hat in it. I did look up Easter bonnet and it didn't say it had to be a bonnet and the ones I saw were mostly hats.

This is the one I made



I needed a model so I put a face on a polystyrene egg I had bought ages ago-I didn't imagine what it would be used for and I bought a packet of smaller ones as well so watch this space lol. I stuck a long stick into the 'egg' and put it into the nice bottle that I had bought at the carboot sale last year. Then added wool hair, pinned on the pink ribbon and made a hat to fit the head.

It was all fun from there as I added all sorts of things that I had found in the hedgerows and some things I had made or bought The feathers I coloured with Promarkers--there are loads of white feathers along the seafront as there are lots of seagulls.

This was real fun for me and I hope you will join in and have some fun yourself. Tracey , Janet and Sandra made wonderful things so do visit their blogs to see what they made.

I would also like to enter this in Try it on Tuesday Challenge where they also have Hats and Easter bonnets as the theme.

Have a lovely day everyone

I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
