Thank you all for sharing your stories about Steve and his wife, not to
mention the jewelry he makes. Thank you Suzi for mentioning Annie the
Pedler as well.
I am all to aware of how heavy metal jewelry will be for the hats, which is
something I am very worried about. If only it could look like gold, feel
like gold, but weigh as light as a feather.
I do want a good reproduction of the jewelry that I intend on wearing, but
for the hat I may have to go with something lighter, even if it isn't quite
portrait perfect. I don't know if buckram and wire can hold up to several
metal pieces... which makes me wonder how they did hold up to a lot of
metal pieces, especially if they were really big gold "ouches" with stones
as the portraits show. Is there a support under there that we are missing
just looking at the hoods?
I will keep looking around for my project, and see if I can find anything
suitable for the French hood. Wish me luck!
Kimiko
