The hair locks are my daughters from when she cut her hair 13 years ago, saved it for a project just like this one.  :) At last I put it to good use. She was pleased as well.

Eric, what an absolutely wonderful piece.  As a young boy owning and wearing something like that headdress was the stuff of dreams.  My 2 boys (11 & 9) are right here by my side just ooooohhhh'ing & aaahhhh'ing.  They are both really into all this primitive archery, hunting, gathering, flintknapping and Native American culture and I am doing all I can to encourage their growth and learning in this wonderful culture.

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures.

That's really nice!  Did you do the beadwork yourself?  That's something I'd like to figure out.
Great work!
