.... but over at Regretsy this week April posted about some quite fascinating hair-based jewellery, so delicately crafted I can (almost!) look at it without getting the shivers. Melanie Bilenker illustrates quiet scenes from domestic life by embedding individual strands of her own hair in resin - she's very talented and I'm impressed with both her technical skill and the sheer novelty of her work:
What do you think? Does disembodied hair make you feel a bit icky, or is it just another neutral, natural material with plenty of potential applications?

The things you find!
Human hair? Mostly icky but those last ones there are rather fascinating. And I don't think they'd be as interesting if they were made from ordinary art materials.
Oh yes, slightly creepy, you reminded me I need to trim my toenails though :-)
I'm in total creeped out agreement, that human hair doily is the stuff of nightmares, although Melanie's work is not so icky.... think I need a cup of tea now..shudder
