It made me shudder. I now sometimes think that I need to get a lock of hair from everyone I love...and I probably will. I found three of my sweet cat's whiskers on the rug after he died and I keep them in a special box and touch them sometimes. It really is a way to keep someone close to you forever. I have a little picture frame broach, too, with a painting of an eye. <br /><br />We certainly are fascinated by the same things!<br /><br />A happy week to you, Theresa,<br />Catherineceeceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962254736526651858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751627818853797065.post-13813920438831512032010-01-25T07:55:38.648-06:002010-01-25T07:55:38.648-06:00Thank you Jermaine!

It is onyx surrounded by baby pearls and set with three diamonds in the center. Each diamond represents a lost loved one. It came from my husband's family. His grandmother sadly was the one to add the third diamond. She wore it always.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751627818853797065.post-35110353274738264282010-01-22T15:09:09.937-06:002010-01-22T15:09:09.937-06:00Jeanne,

Marc Campbell's book is an excellent source of patterns, and still available: <br />http://www.amazon.com/Art-Hair-Work-Braiding-Sentiment/dp/0916896315<br /><br /><br />I was intrigued with how quickly the fad for hairwork rose and fell, and found some information in old publications - apparently it became so in vogue, that people were sending their hair off to be worked, and it was occasionally mixed or replaced with hair from other people, or lost entirely - and by the turn of the century it had almost completely gone out of fashion.Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495668097562584397noreply@blogger.com
