Jonathan James On Art"Do your hats do things?" I love hats, yarns, sculptures and colors. I bring all of these into my crocheted art. Each hat is my own personal symphony of beauty.Some hats are relaxing explorations of shape. Some I take the time to plan very carefully in my mind before starting work.In 2005, Lark Books asked me to submit my work. In 2006 they published a few of my crochet hat patterns. Julia's Cobalt Blues hat tripled as a floppy brimmed hat, a fuzzy cowgirl hat and as a ball cap. It actually could be folded into a few more and 'different' hats.A Baker's Dozen of my hats have patterns for them now.2008 saw my hats as part of a two season group exhibit, Art To Wear, at the Ontario International Airport, in the Los Angeles area.Throughout I have been fulfilling custom orders, making new hats of art and whimsy and pushing the limits of the crochet field. I work only with yarn. My kinetic sculpture hats hold their shape and movements with no wire or other aids.View my hats and pick a style for custom ordering, or purchase of the original. |
