WEO: The "wear all of my toys once" challenge

[RoseRedDead]

Thank you all for the welcome.



Metal spiral sticks from the Icing in very wet and sloppy Celtic Knot bun.

I'm considering coming back and doing this challenge again for several reasons.

1- I'm in a hair toy rut. I wear my hair in a folded braid with a plastic claw clip very nearly every day.

2- I have many beautiful hair toys that I love so much just gathering dust in glasses.

3- I want to get back to taking more pictures in general. Taking pictures of the back of my head is a good start.

4- I think my hair sucks so I need to take more pictures to prove that it doesn't.

5- I've slipped back into 'lurker mode' here at LHC. I want to get back out in the open some more.

So, I hope you don't mind me hanging around here for a couple months.

Rose red dead, those sticks are perfect for a celtic bun
Ajoiful noise, looking forward to seeing more of your collection.
Little acorn, I love the colour of that stick;

Proof that you should never leave the house without checking the back of your head in a mirror. The world's hairiest Elling woman bun (we had antiquité morning and it seemed apt) with Ravenslair Celtic knot pins and an interesting piece of fluff I fear was attached to my head all day without me realising

Monkthemonk called this a "pawn", not sure why. White ebony and turquoise:

Metal Fleur de Lis stick from The Icing in a Dutch-braided Spidermom's Bun That Stays.

I love those spiral sticks too...

Now that I'm a actually taking pics of the back of my head, I am amazed at how pretty my updo's are! (I very rarely take a mirror and look at my updo's after I finish them...)

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Day 1: Figure 8 held by "Amyrine" hair stick by Anafiassa on Etsy

I tried desperately to capture the colors and the beauty of this stick, but it really is something best enjoyed in person. The seller did a much better job than I could when she listed this one, which is almost an exact match to mine. The only difference is that I requested darker dangle beads.

My pictures:

Holy poo Wendy G! Those monkthemonk pieces you've posted recently are AMAZING-- that abalone fork is absolutely mind boggling, and I LOOOOVE the pawn too. I'm absolutely green with envy!
There have been tons of beatiful hairtoys posted on here, just gorgeous (love that beetnik stick, lil acorn)!

I am also thinking that I need to rejoin this challenge-- I have tons of beautiful things that don't get worn enough; now that I did those two big posts on the swap board, almost everything that I have left is stuff that I really love and don't want to get rid of, so I need to WEAR it. I need to retrieve a lot of things from my parents house, but I have enough here for a week or two.

Here's my contributions so far (sorry my hair is so frizzy, I tried combing with wet hair and the tangle teaser... not for me!):

Curved hairstick (Agatewood) from Purplewisteria. The finish is smooth, but not shiny and amazing like a Graydog/ monkthemonk/ papadonh, however the shape is awesome, you flip the ends in after you are done, and it holds like a rock without sticking out.


Red gum spiral from mooreartstudio. Once again, it's smooth, but not a mind boggling smooth finish like a papadonh (Timberstone turnings has the best finish of all, IMO). Both sticks are pretty, though!

Both are Magic Knot buns, I'm in a bit of a hair style rut-- magic knot/ nautilus (and variations, artemis and the hypnobun are the most common)/ cinnabun. Hopefully this challenge will help me with that, too!

I've been wanting to join this challenge, but every time I try to take a picture, my batteries die. I swear my camera eats batteries.

But I'm trying -

Cedar lilliputian 4 prong Threnody in a cinnabun. This fork held really well all day, even after a vigorous playing session with the dogs.
