Mary LaRue, Designs for Wearing

................................................................................................................................................................................................Welcome to everyone whose eyes land on these pages. Here you'll find pictures and descriptions of my latest hats and, perhaps, other works from time to time. No doubt, I also won't be able to resist including some musings on whatever topic is on my mind as I post. It is inevitable.

Edwardian Hat in Thyme and Mahogony

Thyme and Mahogony

This hat, which I finished recently, is made from a wool yarn that is comprised of 70% Peruvian Highland Wool and 30% Superfine Alpaca. The result is a soft, yet substantial, hat. Each flower has a freshwater pearl center.

The colors and shape of this hat make me think of the British suffragettes of the early part of the twentieth century. I have a vision of these ladies carrying placards and marching in front of the Parliament building, demanding the vote. It's a good imagine.

The coloration is reminiscent of that time. Another good one.
