Minnesota artist weaves human hair into wearable art, reviving an ancient craft
www.mprnews.org
Artist Karen Keenan discovered she had family ties to the centuries-old practice of turning human hair into art through an intricate process of braiding and shaping. Now she wants to revive the once-popular Swedish art form by teaching it to others.

Very interesting, anyway. Fiber arts using human hair.

    This is really interesting. I really like it.

    I’ve definitely had a thought as I cleared hair from my brush, “I could save this and make my own dreaded hair extensions or some kind of hair piece”. Of course, I don’t because I dont care to, but it is an interesting medium to work with. This is cool imo I love when folks rediscover stuff like this. We’re the same as our ancestors truly
