faerie research

[mabjustmab]

FaerieCon is coming up. and I'm bringing some folks who've never been before. I'm helping one girl with her costume. she's going as a brownie. (wedji's 3rd cousin, seven times removed. (she keeps coming back!))

I'm making some hats. because I like making hats.
I'm doing some research. if you have a favorite hat (not necessarily a faerie hat), that's NOT a top hat, share the link!

in the meantime, I'll share some of the cool links I found.

Hee hee hee! Too funny! I was going to be a pixie for the Belly Horror Halloween party; just was too tired to go. I had knitted myself an elfin hood, Pixiebell from Etsy sells patterns online. Found an amazing, black asymmetrical tutu on Etsy as well. Also found these really cool button sock garters:

and I love the sock garters! I actually picked up some elastic with those in mind!

I love the flat hats with very little crown and a wide brim from the late 1800s and early 1900's
most of the examples I could (quickly) find come from the 1930s:
