Love it! The feathers are fabulous.
Have you modified the stovepipe frame, or are you using straw wound around a shaped form?
I haven't been brave enough to try one yet!

That's a straw base one again.
I am however, refining my pattern for the stovepipe, and Hats by Leko will be making the buckram frames for them... so there's a chance in the near future you'll be able to just get the buckram base so you don't have to fuss with the straw.

I listed it on etsy, and then took it down and listed it on ebay. I'm going to donate 1/2 of the proceeds to the ORS for fund-raising. What the hey. It's a showy bonnet... lots of bang for the eye, so to speak. I'm going to add a reticule to the deal too. If it doesn't sell, I'll save it to raffle at the Masquerade on August 1
