I Love Hats Because?: I'm a Mad Hatter.

About Me: Born to a family of hobbits, Muerto Marie spent most of her childhood growing up in central Texas in a pine forest, living on fruit and wild plants.

She likes old objects, the more weathered the better. Cracked, beaten and broken baby dolls are one of her favorite things, but that's just the start. Old dresses (1880's - 1920's), bloomers, corsets, boots, tea stained letters, broken toys, and buttons are excellent finds as well.

On the other side of that, glitter, plastic animals, fake eyelashes, tutus, and wigs are excellent, inspiring artifacts.

When not twiddling away at the work bench, Muerto Marie likes to take rides on her 1957 bicycle.

--------------------------------------------

I always work to recycle/re-purpose old materials and objects in all of my projects.

Everything I make and sell was handmade from scratch by me with some help from my lovely boyfriend.
All photographs are taken and modeled by me or my boyfriend.

~Hats and Hair Accessories~
Muerto Marie makes all of her hats and accessories out of recycled materials, utilizing cardboard, plastic/paper cups, old t-shirt fabric, unloved ribbons, used fake flowers, discarded feathers, vintage finds, etc.

She even paints on the back of old glass globs to create eerie eyes that peak out from her hats and hair accessories!
