More treasures...
...from Loel's collection. Loel had a special display of Victorian era crafts using human hair including this amazing embroidered picture
and this piece displayed under a glass dome
and again made from human hair.
There is a great tutorial to make this fabulous felt project HERE. It is shared by Mareth at brilliant Lime Riot.

ReplyDeleteThere is a museum in Bennington, Vermont that has work like this. I remember the first time I saw it, I really couldn't believe it was hair! Apparently this was a common thing to do in Victorian times.
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, what a coincidence to see your post - I was just reading one on the very same thing on Pam Buda's Heartspun Quilts blog. What a fascinating craft, although I agree, while it was not unusual back then, it does seem a bit creepy now. I guess though, that it is about remembering and commemorating our loved ones, and that is always a good thing.... x
