Thanks go to Cool Hunting for this very, um, non-trad design example.

Melanie Bilenker, inspired by Victorian tradition, uses her own locks to craft these delicate designs. 

I’m blown away by the wispy tracery; I’m working on getting behind the use of hair.  For certain, her portrayal of ordinary scenes is absolutely gorgeous in its rich spareness.

I had a college friend with such a fear of hair that she got eeked out even brushing her own; obviously, I will be buying her an original Bilenker ASAP.
