Holiday Chaos and Lessons Learned


This holiday season I have practically run out of every item! My supply of Dragon Hats could not keep up with the orders I have had! I thank all my customers for such a fun and busy season! I still have The Hansel Cowls available in all 24 color plus an awesome pea green. http://www.etsy.com/listing/62571636/new-the-hansel-cowl-in-pea-green

The Dragon Hat


The Dragon Hat was created serendipitously. I was originally trying to create a hat "in which the rays of the sun shown in more than oriental splendor" from Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. The hat I had made look more like dragon spikes, so I modified it a bit and the Dragon Hat was born!
