I think the Maddest Mad Hatter Award should definitely go to Carmen Miranda. No one else could even come up with using your head as a fruit platter.
=================
On a completely different note, winter weather has been hitting our area like a chainsaw. I have to put my hood up whenever I go outside, so that means no more crazy hat wearing. Since I haven't made a hat for a long time and as a tribute of Carmen Miranda (and warm weather), I made a little hat with...fruits. The fruits are Iwako erasers. I was going to buy some gold colored pleather but I found gold lamé for $2 for a huge roll and got that instead. They are really flimsy, so I used two layers. Gathering the edge is also a challenge because the material is really hard to sew.  I pulled it off at the end though. The fruits are actually quite heavy so I used an elastic band instead of a comb or clips.
