Another Mad Hatter's Tea Party this Saturday!

I'm hosting another Mad Hatter's Tea Party this Saturday, March 14th and I hope you'll join me for some more fun and frivolity.

This is what you need to do: take a photo of a hat you made (origami, crafted, knit) or a hat that you adore and send it to me no later than Friday, March 13th at 12 noon EST at artismylife@mac.com.

If you need some inspiration, scroll back in March to see last Saturday's riotous posting and other postings about hats or visit the on-line site for the Victoria and Albert exhibition Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones (photo below). And take a peek at Judith's studio and The Chic Geek to see their fabulous hats.

And lastly, consider this quote from John Galliano:
"Hats are the ultimate finishing touch, the piece de resistance that shows grooming, panache and style. They really complete a silhouette, whether they are modern or eccentric, work of art or functional. I think everyone should wear one -- there's nothing to fear from hats."
