Lynn Traylor

Hand crafted hats made from flimsy cape lines shaped to sturdy perfection in assorted styles, i.e. fedora, cowboy or open crown. Each hat is steam to block the shape then sanded meticulously for smoothness. Finally the hats are cured to stiffness with fire, then brushed for smoothness. All hats brims are cut to size. All hats have hand sewn leather sweat liners and satin lined. Hats are then designed with intricate beadwork, feather work and/or painted to complete the hats. Hat fasteners are small pieces 6 inches in length and beaded with seed beads, bugle beads, feathers and various gems. All fasteners are satin lined and have either sturdy hair clips or headband options. The clothing is Diné designed and transferred through printing on fabric, silk and satin to various styles in kimonos, dresses and hand bags. Each piece is hand crafted.
