Leila's Hair Museum (http://www.leilashairmuseum.com/gallery.html) has left me speechless :D

Wow. :bigeyes:

[Madora]

Thanks for sharing! The embroidery items were very interesting!

[meishkamooshka]

Oh my gosh that is amazing!

[Rufflebutt]

I seriously have no idea what to feel about this. Part of me is like "Wow neat!" and part of me is like,"NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE."

My thoughts exactly. :/

Somehow I feel the same way. I'm usually very open minded but this thing... I'm not sure. All I can say is that the person certainly has a unique skill.

Ohh, the bracelets!!! I need them!!!

[Bagginslover]

The bracelets are beautiful, well, all of the things are, but those are my favorites.

Using human hair is no different to using wool from a sheep for crafting to my mind, I'm making my own coloured clip in extensions from my own shed hair!

[didrash]

I have to admit it creeps me out... Not sure why. A museum full of dead people's hair...

[Viola88]

I don't mind the hair being antique ;) but I always had heebie jeebie issues with hair not attached to a body part.

Loose hair just makes me want to gag. If someone wanted to torture me, all they would have to do is spray water on my bare feet and make me walk through a salon.:puke:

[CarpeDM]

That is so neat, thanks for posting!

[bekstamonkey]

I remember going interstate when I was in my teens, a school trip, and seeing this museum of stuff relating to German settlement in Australia back 'whenever', and I remember one of the things hanging on the wall was just like those...a framed picture, and it was all made of human hair - so delicate yet so intricate - absolutely amazing!!!

[jel]

The craftsmanship is amazing! I would love to make something beautiful out of my shed hair, rather than just bin it, as usual. However, it's mostly funerary jewellery that's made out of hair, so that idea freaks me out a bit...

[jacqueline101]

I think its neat but I'd never wear one.

[Chaotica]

Beautiful! Thank you for posting! :D

[Luminaria]

Wow that's...um...interesting... A lot of "hairlooms" so to speak...

[Ishje]

wow, very impressive!
I could not own one of those items because I would spend most my time thinking about from who the hair came and how she took care of it.

[misspurdy06]

fascinating and weird.

[Jorja]

Where did all these "trophies" come from :run:

[PinkyCat]

Ok. Oddly enough, that kind of made me gag a little.

[melusine963]

Wow that's...um...interesting... A lot of "hairlooms" so to speak...

:joy:"Hairlooms", indeed.
