My Hat log: "Bling Blong Black"

So I peeled back some of the grip-tape pieces that were being funky, filled some gaps in with Sharpie, did some outlining and re-gluing and ta-da. I almost want to keep this for myself.

Hat Swap-Out at Wolfbait

Well I haven't been really publicizing that I have hats for sale at that boutique Wolfbait--I was kind of apprehensive about some of the designs I think, have been short on time, and it being my first (retail) time and blah... so I was gonna take them out and re-evaluate, maybe do some tweaking and try another outlet...then Jenny at the store was like, Oh but there's the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Fest this weekend in Logan Square and there will be good traffic and a lot of guys have been looking at the hats and...

I do realize that the majority of my hats--unconsciously on my part--have kind of a more girl aesthetic. So I decided to take out "The Wet Brown Elephant," "Characters" and "Bling Blong, The Wicked Witch Is Dead" (leaving "Black Gold"), and swap in three that were a little more "duosex," and more refined too.

I ended up toying with Bling Blong, The Wicked Witch Is Dead" (morphing it into "Bling Blong Black"), brought in a brown one I'd finished awhile ago (which I named "Coffee Drip, Damn"), and put the finishing touched on a new one, "Red Denizen." Read more about them above.
