I don't post the thing I make very often, but here are three fascinators I just finished. Each has a color changing LED in the center. I'll have them in the Art Show at Soonercon this weekend. Bid early and bid often!

Three fascinator hats with color-changing LEDs. In the center is a large white flower attached to a headband displayed on a vintage black glass display head. The LED is glowing blue. On the right is an all-white fascinator with a flower and feathers. The LED is glowing blue. On the left is a black velvet cocktail hat with a white flower and black veiling. The LED is glowing red.

Anyone else feel like their mental voice changes to copy things you've listened to? I just listened to a bunch of standup comedy then got in the car, and it felt like I was leaving an invisible trail of Screaming Australian Comedian as I blew through an intersection.
