Felted Hat "Taffy and Gumballs"

Felted Hat "Taffy and Gumballs", originally uploaded by Elephunk's Trunk.

Having once been in the business, I love a good felt hat.

Here's what this photographer/felter has to say:

"This hat is wet felted from wool roving on a hat form. The variegated red, orange, and yellow roving that forms the actual hat reminds me of stretchy taffy. I've decorated the hat with wet felted "gumballs" in pink, blue, green, white, purple, and orange. This is a great hat for chilly fall evenings.

Don't wear hats? No problem! Use it as a bowl to showcase the patterning on the inside."
