Here is what I patterned my hat after
Here is my hat with our messy "little" room behind it.
And here is what it looked like wearing it in the dusty mirror.
The little guy on the top kind of swings around while you walk.
I made the hat by copying the characters from the book cover, then creating backs for them so they'd work in 3 demensions and then had them laminated for sturdiness and sewed them on to the old witch's hat (which btw, I think I wore for halloween when I was 12 and my mother kept and used as decoration on our porch for years) with gold thread.
It will pale in comparison to most costumes down there, but if nothing else I hope it becomes a conversation piece.

I think it's an awesome rendition.
I love witches hats and brooms.
Hooray! I kept checking back for your picture of the hat, and finally am rewarded for my labors. Very cool, very creative, and totally fun! Way to go!
Zann, I cannot tell you how glad I am that you are keeping this site alive! The hat looks terrific, and I'm heading for the bookstore this weekend or to Amazon tonight to get a copy of the book!
I know you are going to have so-o-o much fun. I've never heard of Dragon-Con but it sounds like a blast!
Very cool! You'll have to blog your experiences! I've very curious. We have those conventions in CA, but I've never been to one.
A Hat Full of Sky seems like an awesome story. I'm with Cate, I think I need to read this!
Both of you should read The Wee Free Men first as it will give you a proper introduction to the Nac MacFeegle and Hat Full of Sky's main character, Tiffany Aching.
