I have a project I’m noodling on that I’ve wanted to do for YEARS. With the pandemic, we’re all going to be wearing masks for some time at events. So now is the time to create all of the Outlandish hats (you see what I did there?)
The Ottoman Turks were the undisputed masters at outrageous headdresses. There’s one that sort of looks like wearing an upside down boot on the head. It’s so funky that I just can’t help but love it.
In 20+ years of research, I’ve never been able to find a name for it, so it’s just going to be called THE BOOT HAT!
I’m finally starting to purchase supplies to build this wee kooky beastie. And I’m very excited about it!
