ARTISAN NAME: Ginger Silverman

CREATIONS: Hats

ARTISAN STATEMENT: I make Fascinating Fascinators! At least 30% of each hat comes from FabMo! I love shopping for all the fun things I put in each hat. About 14 years ago I went to a FabMo Market. I enjoyed looking and buying things and wanted to make something that I could sell. Not too many hats were made at that time. I looked and thought about what I wanted to make. Something fun and different! I settled on the style you see. Mini hats that look like Lincoln stovepipe hats! I refined the patterns and created the size I wanted to work with. I use material, wall paper, rickrack, trim, flowers, and doodads from FabMo and feathers and lace from elsewhere. Sometimes I get feathers from Fabmo. As I like to say "Give me an Idea and I will put it in your hat!"
