Kentucky Derby Hat!

My first attempt at making a Kentucky Derby hat. I think I missed my calling as a milliner... I bought a regular sun hat and re-inforced the brim with a wire frame...

Then, I covered it with real moss that had been attached to a fabric backing...

Added other moss, lichen, peacock feathers, and butterflies and voila! An outrageous Kentucky Derby Hat!

I'm proud to say I won "Most Creative" at the party...
