Wow..that's 'interesting'; at first it elicited the EWWWWE response :lol:!

Imagine the patience it takes for such fine work :hmm:



ETA: Here is someone who does this as a craft in the present day http://www.victorianhairjewelry.com/

And this one is world reknowned; perhaps part of her collection will be on display in Philly?
