Excited to begin our new sculpture project! I plan to make a super decorated hat (from scratch!). The ultimate goal is for it to go along with the fluffy and frivolous glitter theme that I have tried to hone in on in my art this past year. To begin, I constructed an armature from the hat this week with paper and wire. Monday consisted of making the center part and Wednesday consisted of making the brim. I plan to use paper mache to make the structure stronger before covering it with fabric. Before that, I think I will go ahead and reinforce the curves with some more wire. My only worry at this point is that the hat may be a little small. I measured the base to fit my head, which may have not been the way to go as I have a naturally small head. I worry that after covering everything with paper mache and such it will just not fit. Oh well.... it may just become a baby hat!

I like where this is going - especially since it has such a natural connection to your PLAY pages and your personal interests! There is likely a way to make sure that the hat will fit - I'd make those needed adjustments before starting the papier mache. You will want to consider how to display the hat - you'll want photos of it on a real person (you or someone else) but also you'll need to make it ready for display in the hallway - so you'll need a mannequin of some sort....
