Sinister Easter bonnet?

[docket]

Ds1 loves foxes. So I thought it would be fun to make a bonnet with a fox chasing some chicks. the finished article looks a bit scary and having viewed some hats online I am wondering if this is in fact completely inappropriate. He is in reception so this is my first brush with bonneting. Am I worrying over nothing?

[docket]

Well, I'm not really sure!

I don't think he won a prize - he did get a certificate and a mini creme egg though. The hats are being kept at school for some reason. Perhaps it has been impounded!!

[ruddynorah]

he DIDN'T win????!!!!! are you actually sure??!! the teacher is clearly insane.

[WorzselMummage]

The teacher has probably take it home to show her husband

[Wallace]

That is a brilliant bonnet

[pixiestix]

He didn't win?! Some people have no taste at all.

But impounded bonnets, hmmmm.... maybe the teacher is wearing it at the pub as we speak.

[ozmetric]

That is hilarious

[JustMoon]

ROFL thats the scariest thing I've seen for ages. However it is very well executed and will certainly be a lot more interesting than all the other hats. Send it in!

[Joolyjoolyjoo]

I think the chick on the left is a survivor from Angry Birds...

[MiladyDeWinter]

Ha Haaaaa that is brilliant! Thank you

[hellymelly]

I have cried laughing,that is so brilliant.The teeth! the menace! That has to win.It is the best thing I have ever seen.My DH came in to see why I was laughing so much.

Bet secretly the teacher did want it to win, but was afraid once news got out amongst the parents, competitive one-upmanship would mean next year's Easter bonnets decorated in roadkill.

I love the bonnet - I love this thread

Genius

[Ozziegirly]

I am at my desk literally crying with laughter at the bonnet.

I had to go and read another thread just to calm down.

Now when I think about it the tears of joy come streaming back.

You have made my day.

[BeastofBodmin]

I concur

I've just come back to this thread and yep - crying with laughter all over again

[brightongirldownunder]

Just the mention of "bonnet" after looking at it makes me PMSL! Its truly a work of art, worthy of exhibiting in the Tate Modern.
Have you thought about setting up a business manufacturing bonnets aka fright helmets for all occasions ...easter/christmas/birthdays/weddings/funerals/ barmitzvahs? Reckon you'd be inundated with requests....

[Slartybartfast]

any news docket?

[globaljen]

That is the BEST Easter Bonnet I have EVER seen! PMSL!

[upahill]

Genius hat! Love it!!

[geordieminx]

Love it.

Just make sure you get it back, else the teacher will be claiming it as her own.

[ChickensHaveSinisterMotives]

PMSL @ the evil bastard chick, willing to sacrifice its hatch mate for freedom

[Bleatblurt]

That is the best bonnet in the history of bonnets!! I cried with laughter. I was trying to tell my DH but couldn't get the words out!

Stroke chick/evil bastard chick are VERY good - like some mythic archetypal duo they accidentally left out of my classical education.

or maybe Freudian?

Stroke chick = ego
evil bastard chick = id
Wolf = superego
