ANSWER Margaret Diamond, Kunkletown, wanted
information on hair embroidery, instructions on the craft,
items owned with a history, or items for sale. Thanks to Marcia
Richards, Pitman, N.J., who writes that she collects hair pic
tures and information concerning it. She recommends the
book, ‘Make Things Grandma Made,” by Marjorie Stapleton.
Prints or etchings were copied in thin black silk, often taken
from unravelled crepe, on a background of ivory satin. Hair
was sewn in to create highlights. Stitched hair shimmers in the
light. To make hair embroidery, hair should be sterilized. Use
several long hairs, a very fine needle, thin black sewing silk, a
scrap of white, cream or ivory silk or satin (work is often small
and framed in round or oval shapes), an embroidery frame,
some watercolors, a pin and some sticky tape, a small print to
copy.

According to "The Victorians Collector’s Handbook,” by
Charles Flatten Woodhouse, several forms of hairwork was
practiced by Victorian women. Pictures in human hair was the
most popular. Both blond and dark hair were used, but red
hair rarely appears in pictures. The art consisted of using
separate hairs to form a fine line as delicate as a cobweb to
create miniature scenes, mounted in maplewood frames.
Another book, ‘Victoriana,” by Jean Latham, said that hair
work may be mistaken for penwork. The hair of relatives and
friends was woven into a landscape or portrait with the same
mournful intention as the mourning rings of the same period.
Eighteenth-century ladies were adept at these sad memen
toes, which usually show a sorrowing relative standing by a
large urn or mausoleum.
These fragile and rare pictures age hard to find because
they are mostly preserved by old families still living in an
ancestral home and fondly treasured.
