Image Statement: A pillbox hat dedicated to my Grandma-K who taught me the art of sewing. Designed incorporating her potholder, handkerchief, jewelry and photograph. Her hanky was tea-dyed and manipulated to border her photo, giving the appearance of an opened envelope. Vintage trim with beaded yo-yos and recycled jewelry completes the surface design.
