freshly dead


When I created this hat I was in the zone, for real.   I wanted to create something that looked like it was about to fly.  One morning while I was walking my dogs I found a freshly dead crow.  I brought it home and to my boyfriends horror I cut the wings off.  I then mummified them.   I placed them in cornmeal in a shoe box in a closet for 45 days.  This prevents any contamination or odor.  They don't smell and they look fresh.  I finished by fixing it on a suede like material, added 40'' laces and several giant black crystals.  J.C can rock this look for days.
