Horsehair is the long, coarse hair growing on the manes and tails of horses. Horsehair can be very stiff or very fine and flexible. Mane hair is generally softer and shorter than tail hair. The texture of horsehair can be influenced by the breed and management of the horse, including natural conditions such as diet or climate.
Most horse hair braiders use a square or box braiding technique to create the strands. The strands are about 1/8" square and then can be sewn together side-by-side to make a wide surface for any project. For example, a seven-strand hat band will be 7/8"wide.
Beads are known to be one of the earliest forms of trade between the human race. It is thought that is because of bead trading that humans developed language. Beads are said to have been used and traded for most of our history. The oldest beads found to date were at Ksar Akil in Lebanon. Prior to this find, the beads found in the Blombos Cave were the oldest, at about 72,000 years old. Round is the most common shape of beads. The shape of the round beads lay together and is pleasing to the eye. Round beads can be made of glass, stone, ceramic, metal or wood.
Applique is ornamental needlework in which pieces of fabric in different shapes and patterns are sewn or stuck onto a larger piece to form a picture or pattern. It is commonly used as decoration, especially on garments. The technique is accomplished either by hand or machine.
The diamond or rhombus, is geometric figure of healing.
A barrette, also known as a hair clip, hair slide or clasp, is a clasp for holding hair in place. A clasp is used to secure the barrette in place. The clasp opens when the two metal pieces at either side are pressed together. They are used to keep hair out of the eyes, or to secure a bun, a French twist or a ponytail. Barrettes are also sometimes used purely for decorative purposes. Large barrettes as long as 3-4", are designed to pull back longer hair or a large amount of hair and are usually worn at the back of the head.
