Moss, acorns and curly-q's

I love tromping through the woods in search of beautiful natural items for embellishment on my hats.  I am drawn to the curly-q and nature's natural spirals. Smilax and muscadine vines have some awesome curly tendrils.
 I am liking this lichen! Sometimes I climb the trees to gather the moss. It is both healthy and challenging to change your perspective!
 Acorn caps are so simple and beautiful...if I were a tiny wood nymph, I would wear an acorn cap on my head. Logs and dead trees are veritable fungus factories!


And, voila, here's a Glory B Hat with all my natural findings. The bird is perched on a little curly-q vine.
