Greens Blues and Violet Striped Hats

 

LOVELY LEAF GREEN MOTTLED HAT

 This is such a really leafy green hat it might even attract greenfly! Soft and warm in a thickly crocheted mix of two different shades of wool.

 

DARK GREENS HAT

 I don`t know if my mother Molly intended to create a camouflage look when she crocheted this deep rich green shade wools together but that was certainly the outcome [no point in asking as she will never remember.] These green wools are really 'Woodland' colours.It would be a very fitting hat to birdwatch in!

BLUE AND YELLOW WHITE DAISIES HAT

This unusual hat looks pale green because it was created by closely crocheting together a pale blue and a yellow wool.It`s a very Monet hat somehow,with the pretty daisies looking like lilies sat on the edge of a sunlit garden pond

SKY BLUE HAT WITH PINK FLOWER DETAIL

This is a really beautiful shade of blue wool.An azure cloudless blue skies blue to keep in mind better weather when it`s all gone grey.

BLUE HAT AND SCARF SET

This is not strictly a matching hat and scarf set.It is 'upcycled' -made from lots of different blue wools and colours that compliment the blues.There are some matching blued colours in both hat and scarf but not all of them as the scarf is that much bigger

MIXED PURPLES VIOLET STRIPED HAT

A unique one of kind shabby chic style creation,using too many colours for it even to be possible to recreate it!

Pic`Drop,Wintery

Olafur Eliasson`s The Weather Project which was at Tate Modern in London in 2004.Wish i lived near London and had seen this.Apparently there was a reflective ceiling and spray machines that created a mist and the appearance of a dissolving/setting sun.

They should cancel some of the repeats on tv over the christmas break get Olafur to put this on!

The line across the middle is where it has been folded for years and you can see the newspaper print coming through from the other side a bit.
I just love this pic`.I know it`s an AD for a phone company but i think it`s so much better than that.I like the drawing style and the Smooth vampire taking his bat for a walk ,it`s got charm!
I have had this since the year 2000 though,and just bought a new phone on 3 network so as advertising it may not have worked...
