Germaine Greer Hat Story Bette Midler Hat Story Hats pictured below on right and left panels are just some samples of my work. Some date back as far as 1992. Others are somewhat surreal with a political twist.
My thanks to Stefano de Pieri (Gondola on the Murray) for modelling hat top right corner. "Hats are the Expression of a Person's Soul" Lilly Daché Play is the fertilizer of the Brain!

Since 1992 I have created many thousands hats with my own hands. I don't sleep much. This is true labour of love and diversional therapy! Obsessive/Compulsive! I used to sell my hats at Maleny & Woodford Folk Festival, Womadelaide, Adelaide Fringe, Victor Harbour, National Folk Festival Canberra Port Fairy Festival and others. Due to Drought/Flood related consequences, competing with cheap imports, rising costs of stall fees, insurance, fuel, materials etc. makes the livelihood for an artisan increasingly difficult, jeopardising the future of GENUINE Home Made Eco Ethical Fashion!
