A sunny afternoon briefly transformed Vancouver's winter and off came my heavy black felt hat and on went this delicate spring flower creation by William S. Wallker.
Some of Bill's Favorite Photos of his Hats
Time with Bill is time in an art gallery of vintage and modern hats and accessories that he continues to create.
Working from home, now, he is a man of many talents: artist, designer, teacher
and milliner extraordinaire!! Look at this brilliant red feathered beginning.
How about this beaded bag, pleated turban and matching top?
Where have you ever seen a decorated brim like this one?
Using his own patterns and hat forms, he begins with the best materials
he can source and magic takes place.
Although his painting are exotic and beautiful, it's the colors and shapes
of the ribbons, flowers and feathers that make his home a gallery.
China and silver for tea, of course and a last sunny smile from Bill, holding two of his own felted hats.
Thanks for the hats, the tea and and the fabulous company, Bill! Want to have a one of a kind hat for a special occasion? Need a stunner for a play you wrote or are starring in? Going to Buckingham Palace, the Met or a Gala? Go to walkermillinery.com to find your heart's desire and remember that this is someone who designed for Paramount Pictures and made a 1920's cloche for none other than Sarah Jessica Parker.
Hats off, Bill! We all want to wear them. Visit Bill's fantastic website here for more information.
