[Sca-cooks] Olwen's hat

[Elaine Koogler]

Dearest Stefan,
I promise I'll try to put something together for you...I' wanted to put 
a little distance between Saturday and when I did this, to gain 
perspective.  But you will get something soon....

>I finally got over to see this. Very nice, Olwen. It does a good job of looking like fabric except for being thicker. I think this is one of your best imitations so far. I notice that you had a bit of documentation for this project but most of it was cut off in the photo. Was this just a single page blurb? It looked like it was more on the hat than the making of the imitation hat. How about writing this up, perhaps with some in-progress photos? and submitting it to me for the Florilegium? I think this might be a good how-to example of working with sugarpaste.

So these redactions as part of a feast review/article might be nice or as an article of redactions from this (these?) manuscripts might be of interest to folks who don't do their own redactions.
