American Tribal Style (ATS) belly dance makes use of these things called falls. They're hair extentions/additions, and often made of yarn in addition to false hair pieces. Sometimes they're only yarn, and that's what I've made. They are composed of several kinds of yarn (7, in fact) affixed to a barrette, with a silk flower and a strand of beads attached. They are not quite a yard long.
These were my first attempt. I added a bit more yarn later, and have another pair (pink/purple) that are longer.
OK, so there's actually 9, not 7... I had to dig thru my stash to find the same yarns in diff colors, since the sleevey-things from the reds are gone.
The thicker yarns are the first layer, with the finer/lighter yarns over them. The barrette was wrapped tightly with yarn, and a "backstitch" run down the middle to give the bottom layer something to fix to w/o sliding around on the barrette. (Make sense?)

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Merry Christmas to you out there but don't forget: we are only guests here and so...listen to my favourite words... and look at all these wonderful pieces of art

Art is the communication of ecstacy!

Hmm... I'm indecisive today.
I'ma ask another construction question:
What kind of fixture are you using? A clip? A tie?

I wish my lawn was emo. Then it would cut itself.
