What's Your Hair Like?

Melissa Shirley Mermaid

Linda's busy trying to create the perfect bangs.

Personally, I don't like bangs.  They look terrible on me (and I think Michelle Obama's too perfect hair looks like a wig) but I do like curls.  My current favorite stitched hair is the mess of overdyed wool bullions on the little Melissa Shirley mermaid above.

What is your favorite stitched hair style?

What's Your Sky Like?

Bargello Background on Night Rider

Steph is thinking about sky stitches this morning. She's got quite a few on display, too.

What you see above is MY favorite sky stitch--a Bargello stitch done in one ply of sage green silk mixed with a strand of Glints from Bijoux.  The canvas is Night Rider from the Old Crows series by Leigh Designs.  What's your favorite?
