Too bad it has to be human hair. I’ve a cat who could open her own gallery.

ok, so hair is something i would never really work with(i dont know why, i just dont really see a reason for it) nail clippings, a little gross, and skin(how do they get the skin?….) is a little strabge, but i can understand it, but menstual blood? that just seems disgusting to me. who really wants to work with it? its bad enough, the pain it causes, but to use it in your art? that just has no point to me. nut people have their own opinion, so i guess as long as no one has me work in that medium.

I’m a spinner and a knitter with fairly long hair. I’m pretty sure there is a little of me in every project.

I feel like a child, but EWWW. So gross. I am not into this at all. I can usually appreciate art forms of all types, but this gives me the heebee jeebees.

I’ve seen a bunch of hair art in a museum here in Hamburg, Germany years ago. At some point of time it was ‘hip’ to create flower bouquets and stuff out of hair. Oh, and I also remember some American contemporary artist’s installation at another local museum who formed balls out of her hair each morning after she’d brushed it and placed them in a rectangle on the ground. Weird stuff. But ‘Hair Raising’ is kind of pretty, don’t you think?

There is such an interesting history in working with human hair as a medium. Victorians used human hair in making jewelry, working it like lace or crochet.
