Chapeaugraphy:
Based
on the French word 'chapeaux' for hat, the art involves taking a
ring of heavy felt and twisting and shaping it into a series of different
hat designs. Invented almost 250 years ago by a French comedian,
the art has been relegated to just a handful of performance artists...until
now. The Chap-OTM from
FingerPrints
Designis making this almost lost art available for everyone to
enjoy.
As
a game or a costume topper, as a personal fashion statement or possibly
as the perfect summer shade hat that keeps your crown cool and your face
protected; the Chap-OTM
is an excellent way to exercise your imagination.
The Chap-OTM brings
the lost art of Chapeaugraphy out of the performer's closet
and onto the heads
of imaginative people everywhere!
