HATS BY USING TRADITIONAL
METHODS, MAYBE BLOCKING OR
CREATING FASCINATORS BY HAND,
SEWING, AND MAKING EVERYTHING
THEMSELVES, NOTHING
THEMSELVES, NOTHING MANUFACTURED.
MANUFACTURED. >> IT IS TRULY A CRAFT AS I
MENTIONED, WORK OF ART.
HOW DID YOU GET INTO THIS
BUSINESS?
BUSINESS?
BUSINESS? WERE YOU ALWAYS INTERESTED
SINCE YOU WERE LITTLE?
>> I WAS NOT.
I ACTUALLY READ A MAGAZINE
ARTICLE IN 2002, READ ABOUT A
MILLNER THAT WAS IN OHIO AND
WAS SO INTRIGUED AND KNEW

AS A CREATIVE ART WORK.

THEN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE
OTHER ONES THAT YOU HAVE.
>> SO ALL OF THESE ARE
FASCINATORS AND THEY'RE PIECES

AND EVEN THIS IS A FASCINATOR,
A LITTLE SMALLER, AND EVEN
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. ANYTHING THAT IS CREATED BY
HAND AND ATTACHED ON THE HEAD
WITH EITHER A CLIP, A COMB, OR
A PIECE OF ELASTIC, THIS HAS A

SILK.

AS YOU'RE TELLING ME WHAT THIS
IS, THIS IS FASCINATING TO ME
RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE. >> IT IS.
>> IT IS.
>> IT IS. IT'S THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF
BLOCKING A HAT.
NOW, THIS IS A WOODEN HAT BLOCK
THAT I'VE TAKEN A STRAW AND
STEAMED IT AND PULLED IT OVER
AND TACKED IT DOWN WITH PINS
AND ROPE, AND I'VE LET IT DRY
ON THE BLOCK TO TAKE THE SHAPE,
AND THEN I REMOVE THE BLOCKS
AND THEN I PULL IT OFF THE HAT
BLOCK, AND IF I WANTED THEN TO
KEEP IT ON HERE AND DECIDE ON
WHAT I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE AS
FAR AS EMBELLISHMENTS I HAVE A
FEW THINGS HERE WE CAN USE.
BEAUTIFUL SHINY INSPIRED FOR
THE WEDDING, A SHINY RIBBON,
AND THEN MAYBE A FLOWER IN
THESE BEAUTIFUL LEAVES OR THE
OTHER OPTION IS SOMETHING LIKE
THIS WITH THE FLOWER THAT I
HANDMADE WITH A BEAUTIFUL
FEATHER.
FEATHER.
FEATHER. THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT
OPTIONS, WHICH IS WHY I LOVE
MAKING HATS.
MAKING HATS. >> OH, MY GOSH.
YOU ARE TRULY AN ARTIST.
IT'S VERY HARD TO DO LIVE ON
TV.
TV.
TV. >>
TV. >> TELL ME HOW LONG THESE TAKE.
>> EVERYTHING TAKES A DIFFERENT
AMOUNT OF TIME.
THIS WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF
DAYS WHEN I'M HAND BLOCKING.
FOR THIS IT TOOK ME A FEW HOURS
BECAUSE I CUT OUT EACH
INDIVIDUAL PETAL.
INDIVIDUAL PETAL. >> YOU ARE KIDDING ME.
THAT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
