Edward & the Watchman Hat

Edward's daughter asked me to make a hat for her dad.  I tried to re-create the WW II Watchman Cap that he used to wear.  I think Edward wears his hat well.

Daphne, Apollo and the hat tree

This is a commissioned hat tree sculpture based on the myth of Daphne and Apollo that I made while living in Richmond, Virginia.  At the time I wasn't making hats. It's life size with cold-forged steel, upholstered ultra-suede and hydrocal plaster cast & gold-leafed legs.

According to Greek myth, Apollo chased the nymph Daphne (Greek: Δάφνη, meaning "laurel"), Daphne prays for help either to the river god Peneus or to Gaia, and is transformed into a laurel (Laurus nobilis): "a heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breast, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left.

Fire and Water Dragon

This is a steel dragon that I made several years ago at a friend's metal shop in Albuquerque. It finally found a permanent home outside the clinic. A patient told me that she thought the area behind the building needed the fire element to balance the water element. The building juts up against a hill and concrete retaining wall. Too much water running down the hill puts out the fire of the business. If any Feng Shui experts see this, please let me know what you think.

Heart Protector

This tattoo is on the Pericardium Channel which is said to protect the Heart (The Emperor) from attack of external influences. I think this is one of my favorite points to use.

Artist's Hat

 

For this hat I used a varigated-multicolored yarn on the brim. I liked the way it created a painterly surface quality. Please visit Alexandra's website:
