Every museum I've been in has a solid painted hat. It's either blue, green, black, or red - there's something about the green ones that I absolutely love. I took this hat that I made and painted it. I wiped it off to make it look a little distressed like the old ones do, and I painted the inside. I think it's quite pretty, now. I really like it. I don't know why I like the green. I just do.
