You're welcome! I'd spotted the book at my local library a while back, and when you mentioned wanting to learn hair work, I thought of it right away. Have fun experimenting with it - it sounds like a really neat craft!

Thanks for the recommendation---I ordered the book, surprisingly, Lacis
had it for less than Amazon, but it does look like what I need to do
this.  IT could be a whole new venture for me, esp. since I could learn
to make the findings from PMC.

Yours in cosutming, Lisa A

Hi Lisa,

I don't know whether it's exactly what you had in mind, but Lacis
publishes a reprint of an 1875 book called The Art of Hair Work by
Mark
Campbell (shown here: http://lacis.com/catalog/).  It mainly seems
to
involve the different types of braid you can make.
