My son's girlfriend Esther is a clever artisan who works with recycled materials in all her projects.
She gave me a tour this morning (I am visiting them) of her recent series of hats, and I flipped for them. She has them in her Etsy store.
Have a look!
She uses reclaimed sweater yarn and felt from recycled bottles. The thread is from Goodwill.
She is serious about this aspect of her work.
The used hat stand was purchased on Ebay, and paper mache-d with torn grocery bags and a paste of flour, water, and salt. (Find some recipes for this here.)

What fun! How nice that your son has found an arty girl. Great hats!
Very cool and creative.. love the whimsy! These should be popular.. even in snowy Florida these days..ROFL!
and it's waaay below freezing still in "hot old Austin." (whatever happened to global warming?) I love these hats! Both the style and the quirky embellishments! Clever girl, Esther.
Fun and hip!
Very clever little hats, and I love her repurposed wig stand. What a great use of recycled materials. I hope her shop is a success.
Ok. Esther is just way too cool.
