WIP



The idea of trying to make a cuffbracelet popped up, started to crochet, but no exact design in my head. Let's see to where this leads in colors and shape.

Kweet niet welke affiniteit ze heeft met bloempotten, maar gisteren 
speelde ze voor vijg en vetplant (rapper zal het er niet van gaan 
groeien).

Weaving, crocheting or something else ?


Macro shot 

Back in the sixties and seventies it was fashionable to wear a 'postiche'.

When I had a haircut, well, the hair was made into a postiche for my mother, as it was very fashionable those days to have a coiffure with some extra hair. (nowadays too, but they have the clip-in things)

As my grandfather was a hairdresser, he always insisted to make my hair that was long enough into a postiche after having cut it. 




 
The one on the left is about 44 years old and still in a perfect condition, the other ones are when I was aged about 8 and 12. 

Me and my sister at the age of approx. 3-4 years old, 
quite a difference :-)

Does anyone have a clue what technique is used to make these ? 
It's very well made, you can brush it, no hair comes out, still after all these years.
