So very cool.

Never knew such a thing existed.

Me neither! Imagine a dress made of sea silk.

Mmm. Clammy!

Wonderful article, fata, and such a precious form of art. I wonder how her daughter feels about continuing the tradition.

This is equally impressive natural silk. Only two garments made from this silk are known to exist.

It is beautiful. But, for some absurd reason, I have the feeling that Fata is less keen on that particular harvest.

I should like a nut satchel crafted of each. Size XL, please.

The first Clam Hair Joke waited until the 4th Post?

It was unintentional.

Should have caught it.

Disappointed in myself.

I'd rather wear horsehair!

There have been several people who have made clothing from human hair.

I even wrote a story about it (of course!).

I have a lot of mourning jewelry, watch chains in particular.

I wish they had more photos of her work. I hope her daughter does keep the tradition going.
