Thanks--I already ordered it and since our holiday didn't happen
because of me working, felt I didn't mind the splurge. Being over 50, I
tend to work better with an actual book than by computer screen, and I
don't have a tablet computer or a smaller device either. (Also, I tend to
write about
Also thanks formentioning Google Books. I will be checking that out for
other things.

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!

There will be a merchant in the Marketplace at the 1860s Conference that
makes very nice reproduction hair jewelry. She may have some suggestions on
learning the craft and where to find findings, etc. Another merchant always
has a great selection of original hair jewelry for sale or
If it is the same person that was there several years back, she did an
excellent job of weaving some of my own hair to put into an antique brooch
that had no hair in it at all when I bought it. (I wouldn't have taken out
original hair to put my own in.) Luckily I have past my waist length hair
That sounds terrific. I hope to have read the book, and possibly even
started a project by then, but we'll see. I was planning on bringing my
two vintage pieces to show and get comments on as well, I wore one of
them with my first 1861 recreation dress at Philcon (a SF con in theP
hila. area
It one of you gets good at hair work, look me up. I have my daughter's long
braid from her first haircut at 6 y.o. I saved it to have hair work made.
The braid is very thick and curly.

Hi Lisa,
I don't know whether it's exactly what you had in mind, but Lacis
publishes a reprint of an 1875 book
You might also look at Carol Rifelj's new book, called _Coiffures_ (Delaware,
2010), which talks about this. Maybe her bibliography would be useful to you.

The Campbell book is excellent. I bought it years ago, intending to
play around with hairwork, and didn't-- but it explains the process
very very well indeed.
The main issue is obtaining parts-- chain ends, fastenings, and
jewelry findings. I never put the time into that part of things.

Lisa,
A Kumi Himo frame will ease the process for you. Many of the braids
are made in the same manner as Kumi Himo.
