Many of you know my Story Hats, the love of stitches and stories that come together.
...hats give you the possibility to dream.
Philip Treacy
When creating these Story Hats, I think about not only their size, shape, their movement, but also their voice...what do I want this hat to say...to you.
For many years, people have been asking for a book of my Story Hats...and finally it is here!
I have put together a carefully chosen collection of my Story Hats to include:
- Butterfly
- Goldfish
- Seahorse
- Lotus
- Lily
- Elephant
- Dragon
- Happy Dog
- Rabbit/Hare
- Snow Tiger
- Green Tiger
- and of course, Black Cat.
It is hardcover coffee table book and features stunning 12" x 12" glossy images from my amazing photographers Mark Mortensen and Allan Rodriguez Villalobos.
Each hat has two full pages of exceptional photography showing a full shot and close ups.
I believe that my pieces are multi layered not only in fabric but also in meaning so, I have also shared with you the special symbolic meaning, wishes or protection each Story Hat holds.
The book has sold out in it's first unadvertised "outing".
I am doing these as a limited run with signed copies going to those who order in this next pre-order round. The cost is $69 + shipping (anywhere in the world).
If you are interested in this next pre-order run,
please let me know email me here and I'll include you!
I am grateful for all the years I have been able to create these pieces of my soul and am thrilled to share them with you.
The Story Hats themselves, as art pieces, will eventually be for sale, I will keep you posted...and I am now starting to create a couture line of my Story Hats for women!
I hope to hear from you!
As always...creating meaning to add beauty to your life.
