Shearing the Sheep

Before...

After...

I just wish I could make something useful out of all of that hair. It can't really be felted like wool, though, and some might find a hair-stuffed pillow a bit creepy.

See the baggy in his hand? He was having a little trouble seeing all of his locks blow away in the wind, and wanted to keep some. I figure it won't hurt, and in a few days, when the baggie disappears, he won't even notice.

How about a victorian style hair picture? Gross, I know, but Mark and I saw several on a recent trip to a house that had been turned into a period museum. They were very creative and made flowers with different colors of hair and then framed in a shadow box. This site shows a sample of what I'm talking about. http://www.victorianhairartists.com/HairworkTechniques.html

Wow, that sounds cool! You should do it Bethie! I'll even send you some of my hair from my next cut!

You could donate it, although I think it has to be something like 10 inches long so that's too bad (my niece has leukimia and I think she'd look cute even with short hair). The pillow is a nice idea it would be so soft! But could you just imagine a person's face when they ask what its made from and you reply "human hair" -yeah its a little creepy!
