Bonnie the dog
The funny hat got its name after the paper rolls you have in a public toilet. It contens a thick 5.5m long linenribbon, fluffed up, in the edges, and with a pure silkorganza veil under. It is quite comfortable.
The sleeves was hard to make so I gave up and found this beautiful cloth. The belt are made of a dogchain and the chain you got in the bathroom. I sandcasted the two tinbulchs.

This Flemmish ensemble is inspired of several different paintings of the same motive, a cook, and a market painting where a woman in the background are carrying a large plate on her head.
I made the red dress in linnen, and my overdress is in dark green and open in front. The upright collar and the hat is strifftened with ritch ricewater.
