:: I’m all a flutter

Posted by Joelle on March 11, 2008

Much as I love the way they look, I’ve never got on with false eyelashes. I find them fiddly to stick on straight, and part way through the evening one will begin to peel away, like a hairy caterpillar making its way across my face.

Here’s a possible alternative though, in the shape of a silver necklace by Stephanie Simek, who has spotted that these soft human-hair lashes make a dreamy, surreal necklace. Available for $38 on her Etsy shop, along with versions shedding a beaded tear.

With Easter coming up, her impossibly delicate looking gold-lined quail egg necklace also caught my eye. Very pretty, yet quirky jewellery.

I can’t decide whether that necklace is funky or freaky!

Did you see Project Runway where that guy made outfits that included human hair? I’m guessing that’s just me - they looked creepy on the dummies but really good on the models.
He didn’t win, mind.
I remember painstakingly putting on false eyelashes every day to go to school when I was 15. I couldn’t contemplate doing anything as time consuming except for a very special occasion these days. Although the eyelashes probably took precedence over brushing my hair back then.
