I am currently working on a steel hat. I have been looking at kentucky derby hats for inspiration, very large brimmed hats with embellishments... feathers, ribbon, flowers...

I am continuing trying to capture movement in the steel, creating exaggerated rolls and curves in the brim of the hat. I am drawn to the negative space the rolls in the steel create. I am trying to maintain elegance and beauty, which culturally describes female atrributes.
