Mid-way through felting...
...the resist is removed...
...and the project is lightly fulled.
The silk interior begins to pebble...
...as the felt begins to shrink.
Once the hat is fully felted...
...(and the proper size)...
...the bottom is trimmed for neatness...
...and cuffed.
Clips are used to shape the ears while drying.
The finished hat (front)...
...back...
...and side...
...and in situ...
...as I march in the Women's March on Philadelphia...
...with two of my strong, smart and amazing daughters!
