This was my entry into TotusMel's "Tatting is Not a Lost Art: The Challenge." (totusmel.etsy.com has more information about the contest.) The design was developed around a two-inch-wide medallion of intricate needle tatting creating by TotusMel for the challenge, which is featured prominently on the front of the hat. The ecru color of the medallion inspired this design in ivory, tan and dark brown, and I was going for a sort of antiqued sepia-tone look.
The hat is made from a 7-inch-diameter (including the brim) felt form for a turned-down brim style of mini top hat. I covered the form, and it is sewn entirely by hand, in a dark brown fabric with a design of tiny stars and even tinier dots.
The hat band is made from a dark brown satin ribbon with a wide-weave texture onto which I sewed two strips of ivory eyelet lace. On the front of the hat is a feather pad in rich dark brown, with the medallion sewn at center. Behind the medallion is a spray of eyelash feathers in champagne, with small iridescent beads on some of the stems.
At the center of the medallion is a clockwork adornment: a watch crystal into which I hand-set watch gears and cogs into resin.
The full birdcage veil is made from vintage Russian veiling that I acquired from a 60-year-old millinery store in New York that just closed its doors this year, so I doubt any more of this veiling exists anywhere. The diamond-net veiling is dark brown with light tan chenille dots. It was hand sewn into pleats to give fullness around the face and gathered into a double-bow at the back to give a nice amount of poof. The veil is held on with a hook and eye and is detatchable. On the inside, the hat is sewn to a hair comb and there are also elastic loops for bobby pin attachment.

Take a subject as far out of context as possible.

This wasn't the image I intended to shoot for this challenge. A failed delivery put paid to that idea. Instead this shot came about as a result of a dream. Well not a dream exactly. Sometimes when I am faced with a problem, the solutions come to me in my sleep. I had convinced myself this might be the solution. Now I'm not so sure...I've put it in, then taken it out. Sigh. This challenge is tough.
I have been "worrying" at this since it was announced, coming up with and rejecting one idea after another. Mostly I think they were too complicated so my brain has been telling me to simplify. I still want to try my other idea but I think now it may be for another day since I have no idea when I will receive the things I ordered.
Pure American muscle

The PlushTeam's current challenge is Call of Duty - Plush Warfare. This is my entry, the boob slingshot. While it is unlikely to do much damage (ow, a boob in my eye!) it is certain to be distracting.
The slingshot specs - repurposed wire is used for a sturdy armature, which is then wrapped in batting and finished off with soft, cuddly flannel that has been hand-stitched. Heavy duty waistband elastic is also encased in flannel, giving it an excellent sproing.
The boobs are fleece covered foam balls. I'd judge them to be somewhere between a B and C cup. There are 4 of them, or 2 pair. They are incredibly bouncy.
Am I this immature? Apparently.
Am I proud of myself? Not especially.
Did I have lots of awkward questions to answer from my kids, including requests to compare my own boobs to the fabricated ones? Big sigh.
Did I come dangerously close to having to explain the facts of life? Serves me right.

Background Stuck in Customs
Being reborn after a 25 year absence, the Dodge Challenger returned to the roads in its current variation in 2008 to a slew of awards and positive reviews.
The Challenger line has had a patchy career, with the first instance of the name being used on a Dodge car being with a limited edition Silver Challenger built for a year in 1958 and 59. The first true edition of the Challenger came 10 years later in 1969 with the unveiling of the 1st Generation Challenger, built to lock horns with the Camaro and the Mustang. However, the car came too late for the Pony Car craze of the 1960's, and ended production after only 5 years.
The next time the Challenger name appeared, it was on the humble Mitsubishi Galant, being marketed in the United States as the Dodge Challenger. Released in 1978, the car was in fact not a Pony Car nor a Muscle car, but a subcompact 2-door coupé, a humble motor in its own right, but certainly not the first image that comes to one's mind when they think of the modern Dodge Challenger.
