One of Heart Gallery’s Resident Artists, Heather Wilson, has branched out into making Mad Hats and embellishing corsets.
It all started with a red mini top hat, which she decorated with feathers, velvet, beads, and netting, (which she even set fire to!) – and named it the Twisted Firestarter Hat.

It is part of an Elements theme, and the Water element came next, decorated with soft, floaty, bluey green chiffons, netting, beads…and a small shark. That one is called Shark Hattack, and has a matching neck piece with, you’ve guessed, sharks on it!

From seeing Heathers Mad Hats visitors to the Gallery have shown much interest, and Heather has already been commissioned to make two fascinators, for a mother and daughter, for a November Wedding. These are available to see in her studio, as they are being kept safely in a display case until needed.
Wedding Commission
Ideal for Weddings, Special Events and Festive Parties, Heather makes these to order. Prices are from £25.00 for the fascinators, and from £50.00 for the mini top hats.
Keeping to the theme of glamour and sparkles, Heather also decorates ready-made corsets. She takes a basic satin overbust steel boned corset, and adds beading, ribbons, and any decoration to suit an outfit. To be in time for the Festive Party Season, please come and see a sample of Heather’s work in the studio. She can also do these for Weddings, evening wear, or simply a treat to make you feel totally glamorous!

As an extra note, Heather would like to remind anyone wanting to place an order for a Name Picture for Christmas, to please see her as soon as possible, to avoid disappointment. She will need as much time as possible to complete your paintings, as orders will be mounting up over the next few weeks.
