Kelsey and Alexis

And we're back! These two hats are among the first in my newest set of steampunk hats-- I found a source for brass and copper gears, and I'm putting the to good use in these! Enjoy! (these two are also for sale in my Etsy store, along with all the others that will be posted in the next few weeks)

Kelsey:

Bright and cheerful as a shiny new penny, the Kelsey combines shades of aqua and copper with a touch of whimsy that's sure to make you smile. An assemblage of copper and brass gears is backed with an intricate brocade in blues and browns, with matching satin ribbon trim. Copper wire swirls and springs draw the eye upward, where tiny rhinestones in aqua and goldenrod twinkle against the black felt crown. If you're looking for something cute, quirky, but still steampunk, this is the hat for you!

Alexis:

Brilliant in scarlet velvet and gleaming brass, the Alexis is many things, but never inconspicuous. Luxurious velvet ribbon encircles the hat and stands up in proud loops, forming a dramatic backdrop for an elaborately layered arrangement of gears in brass and copper. A spray of brass wire curlicues springs up from the base, and a duo of tiny brass gears adds an extra accent to a hat that's already got so much going for it. No one wearing the Alexis will ever be anything but the center of attention!
