ALLLL ABOARD
I used some traditional millinery techniques to make this mini Ingo hat!
I’d say it took me around 20 hours or so to make. Wire, buckram, fabric and leather were all hand assembled to make this, I even lined the inside even tho the plushie doesn’t care lol.
Added bonus is it fits my dog :D

Touchstone (makers: Main costume by Janet Christmas. Millinery by Kate Freshwater. Heads sculpted by Emma Hughes)
A reinterpretation of the traditional court jester, Touchstone is the only character in the court to wear any colour – the bright reddish orange of their hat and shoes popping against all the greyscale tones of the other costumes. When we first meet her, Touchstone’s costume is so comically exaggerated with its balloon shaped breeches and multiple heads that it’s almost wearing her. But slowly, after arriving in the forest of Arden and falling in love with Audrey, we see the layers of artifice begin to unravel, gradually revealing a human beneath.
