CAP Decorating Contest Entry #5 – SEASCAPE FLOWERS

AWARE OPMIT — Mon, 20 May 2013 23:48:27 +0000

Originally called “Paradise,” this hat was inspired by the thought of crystal clear waters and scuba diving. Created by Jennifer, the redesigned baseball cap features petal leaves and adornments reminiscent of the treasures found above and underneath ocean waters. When asked to comment on her design, Jennifer exclaimed,

“Vacation, vacation, vacation!!!”
