This is a hat wearing a hat though it isn't clear in this photo. This man/troll is really a troll as he lives under the bridge in Michigan! ( Really south of the bridge but as they know up there, you  are an upper or a troll!) See photo below.

It's a hat wearing a hat. This troll actually inspired a poem which then inspired the troll's hat print. The poem is called, Carrying the Troll, by Lee Kisling. This kind of collaboration is called Ekphrasis.

Norma in the witch hat. This is a hat wearing a hat. This witch's hat (purple polk-a-dots) is on a headband and can be worn without the witch.

This is a biggie! The lion has a huge mane, paws with claws and a roar that is loud.... that is, the person wearing it has a loud roar!

This hat was created for my Rainforest Exhibit at The Phipps Center for the Arts. This one sold to a collector of Animal hats. I'm not sure if I can recreate, Jimmy Buffet fans.

Check out the talons on this vulture, modeled by Chelsea.

This frog hat was so great on this guy! Look at his matching boots!

Each time  I create a hat,  the colors and personality may change. Here is a close up of one of the frog hats.

Inspired by a Munch Bunch goat, belonging to a  business with goats for clearing buckthorn! This goat named Gak was the best eater and got the highest branched down for the others to eat. 

This hat was inspired by another poem by Lee Kisling called, Blue Horse. This kind of collaboration is called Ekphrasis.

This hat also has arm and leg warmers with the same scaled fleece application. 

Inspired by the Montana artist Kevin Redstar, this piece was created for the 45th Parallel Exhibition at The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson Wisconsin. Both Mr. Redstar's studio and The Phipps are located on the 45th Parallel.
