Hair today, gone tomorrow. (sorry, couldn't resist)
Medusa's snake head always freaks me out. Ewwww. But I like the noblemen with long hair and the Bauer piece is wonderful. Locks locks, long locks!
Cool theme, T. :)
Good Hair Day! (couldn't resist, either)
Well, except for Medusa and maybe
the Forest Call piece (though I kinda like that 'do. ;-)
Wonderful works.
Loved the link to the hair sculptures... so creative and... well, weird. :-D
