I am doing a "two related posts" thingy today, announcing a contest and telling a story. This is the contest announcement. If you are at all curious about how I became a Foil Fashionista, please have a look at the corresponding post, "The Day I Accepted Aluminum" here:
@fishyculture/the-day-i-accepted-aluminum
That post inspired me to host a contest to FLAUNT YOUR FOIL! Since I am the kind of gal who only believes in leading by example, please allow me to flaunt my foil first!
I hit the toy box, craft box and jewelry box and got myself a few simple supplies. Oh, and of course, the kitchen cupboard.
I found that with just a little tuck in back I could get something approximating a nice pillbox hat, like Jackie O. made popular!
The ribbon and pearls were all too short or too long but a stylish little bow knot fixed the problem.
Now for a nice bit of spring color...
Oh yes! We are almost there! I just need a little flounce, a bit of whimsy (because this has all been so very serious so far!)
Lets see how it looks!
