I had the pleasure of traveling down to the Shire of Nahrun Kabirun to compete in Her Royal Majesty, Beatrice’s Queen’s Prize Artisan showcase in the theme of Whimsy. I used the opportunity to complete a full 16th Century Ottoman Turkish headdress including my Outlandish Turkish “boot” hat aka Arakçin as well as an eye veil and small triangular veil.
