#dont want it to burn

LIVE
a shiny old school kettle on top of a straw round that will be the flat crowb of the hat, talia's distorted reflection is just visible in the kettle ALT
an above view of the crownless hat on top of a blue table, small metal frogs are weighing down and flattening the brimALT
closeup of a smiling metal frog on top of the straw hat brim, it looks very happy to be doing such important workALT

I think reshaping the straw is one of the best bits. I’m using a kettle to steam and press the crown flat and I’ve got some heavy frog friends to help press the brim flat. It’s about 28C here, so I can just wet the straw, press it in the correct shape and let it dry.
