One of the issues of having perma-straight hair is that you
can’t do much with it in terms of styling without using enough hair products to
mohawk a horse. Because of this, I’ve developed a taste for wearing French hair
barrettes. My fascination with the variety of these that I can wear for any
occasion also led me to being rather enthusiastic in making my own.
Due to my love of classical history, I couldn’t resist
creating these from my cross stitch kit, pieces of felt, and my trusty hot glue
gun. I thought it would be pretty nice to try a Greek-key design, but in black
instead of the traditional blue….
Ever since I was little, I’ve always been fascinated by the
design of the evil eye, when I saw my neighbor wearing one on a pin that she
had gotten on a family holiday to turkey. This led into my experimentation with
all the ways that you could use this design as a decorative symbol…
