my oh my this was a fun tool to stumble into a couple years ago while watching artists on stage at a IBBS LONG BEACH HAIR SHOW. like I don't give enough praise to all things kevinmurphy.com.au this once again has my singing...well more praise.
it was designed primarily for putting hair up but not limited to just sewing hair... as seen in this post showcasing my last creative shoot and used the sewing kit and played with the hair as well my DIY hair pieces using twigs and branches and beads and berries....oh my
its really is another tool to use as an artist who likes to work with different mediums on their canvas
my canvas being my model Mackenzie and her long thick straight hair
pins would not have had the durability because its almost impossible to secure a hard bulky accessory that doesn't naturally lay and bend on the head...this gave me ability to go in and really secure not only her crown braid but the accessory as she would be moving as seen in the finished image below
the kit provides everything you need..needle and thread based on hair color -theres 3 colors to choose from. the rest is basic sewing 101:
THIS IS ROUND 2
quite possibly 3rd or 4th change of looks by this stage of the shoot??
what is so unique about sewing hair or the accessories into the hair is that I can remove by simply undoing and the thread slides out of the hair without disturbing the fabric of the design.
removing bobby pins out of an updo once in place.... is a bitch (pardon my French)
I was able to remove her braid and twig piece as seen abouve and create a completely new look sewing her hair up as well connecting the new hair piece of branches and berries that would not have held up with bobby pins...
make up: SHEA BROWN
