    Hello! Here's my hat entry:
    The Spectrum Sallet!

    Give those baddies something pretty to look at right before you put them in their place!
    The name comes from the rainbow, which displays the entire color spectrum , and the sallet, a type of medieval helmet.
    Give any criticism you'd like, and best of luck to everyone who've put lots of effort into their entries!
    P.S.- I'm not super fond of the name, so if you can think of something better, please speak up! If I like it enough, I will use it and credit you!:)

    may i ask what inspired you to make this helmet? its very unique.

    It's actually an adaptation of my original idea, which was a viking helmet with miniature biceps of ivory instead of horns and a mustache spike on top which I called "The Gentleviking". The problem was the execution of the mini-arms with such a small area proved slightly too difficult, so I compromised to think of a new idea while keeping the original helmet design. I just happen to be in a artisan blacksmith phase right now, which is where the medieval helm comes in, and the rainbow, as silly as it sounds, was inspired by the default color selection in paint.

    I thought I lost this, but I happened to find the progression of the hat idea to what it is now. You can see how it started and ended:) .
