I hadn't been looking at them, but I did now. They were composed of oddly familiar pieces of ivory.
"Finest specimens of human molars," he informed me.
Meyer Wolfsheim, in the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
And this, I've made from the finest specimen of human hair.
Inspiration can come from many places; in this case it was in the form of a weave. The entire piece looked so beautiful and bizarrely elegant hanging from the chandelier that I wondered why designers haven't explored this medium more thoroughly. I realize it's remotely disgusting, but really, is it?

I became fascinated with the use of hair after watching too many Peaches videos. This is actually extremely brilliant and very elegant.
ReplyDeleteI also found that quote from Great Gatsby to be the most disturbing, alluring and memorable quotes in literature. Period.
Wow, beautiful pictures, and dress.
