Fringes + Dread Tattoos!
I decided to use up all the hair bits I've had lying around to create new fringes. This is about 2/3 of what I had, I've got another third to tie up. It really is great to work with limited materials--forces creativity!!
PASTEL RAINBOW
100% synthetic hair, hand tied
Supa Long styling
Colors: hand blended pastel pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple
5.5" wide
BLUE VIOLET
100% synthetic hair, hand tied
Supa Long styling
Colors: 4 purples, Baby Pink, Ice Blue, Blue
6" wide
FIRE LEOPARD
100% synthetic hair, hand tied
Supa Long styling
Colors: Neon Orange, Orange, 3 blondes
4.5" wide
Red leopard spots with orange middles.
Now this wool set was planned. I wanted to try my hand at what I call Dread Tattoos, that is needle felting designs onto a wool dread. I believe it was Scarlet Lady who had some very gorgeous flowered ones... that's what I had in mind while needle felting.
Flower Garden
Natural Texture
Colors: Lilac, Hyacinth with Fuchsia and Chartreuse
54 DEs / Avg. Length 11" / Random blends
Dread Tattoos of vines with leaves and flowers

The blending on the fringes is stunning, pastel rainbow is gorgeous! 'Dread tattoos' are great too, must take ages to do all that detail!

The first fringe is gorgeous.
And those flowery/vine are gorgeous, but must have been LOADS of work. Really great effect though.

Gorgeous show off. The pastel fringe is beautiful, and the flowery roving. I can't imagine how much work went into that!
What, that? It's a spade.

Beautiful work, it's all so elegant. I especially like the pastel rainbow fringe; it's really something else

Re: Fringes + Dread Tattoos!
Wonderful, thanks so much! Any recommendations on where I can buy it, maybe online? I only have regular tulle on hand which won't workVixenSingsBlack wrote:It's large hole tulle.

Usually you can get it at any fabric store. The larger hole tulle is used in dresses to create lots of puff, as it holds its shape better than regular tulle. If you have a Hancock fabrics or local fabric store near you, I'd pop in there and take a look around.
