I have a friend who has several of these hair pieces that her grandmother made. They are quiet fine and amazing to look at. I could ask her if I could take a few pictures to post? She has them under glass. They are mostly flowers, if I remember right.

Remember in that era women had long lengths of hair available. (no corner beauty shops as we have today). I had a rather long pony tail cut off at about age 15-16. I was having sever headaches and my parents and Dr. thought the weight of the hair might be part of the cause. (It wasn't, I was having stress & allergy related migraines). I wish not that I had kept it for use in hair work. Women also kept the hair that fell out naturally with combing and brushing. I remember my grandmother using this hair mat as padding when she wore her hair 'twisted up on top'. It was perfectly natural hair loss, they just kept, while we just toss it out. Lorri Graham, WA, USA Subject: [lace] Hairwork Hi Clay and everyone! This may help you with the creepies. I have my DD pigtail & she is very much alive 13 yr old. Sep. 2007, I cut her hair as a discplinary action. All I have to say do you want me to cut your hair and she straightens right up. (BTW - She could sit on her hair & I cut it to the nape of her neck.) Her hair is now past her shoulder blades. I hope this helps.
