I figured out how to make tribal cowrie hairfalls! Okay, so I VASTLY underestimated the sheer number of cowries I'd need for such a task, but the bottom line is that I can make my own instead of shelling out $100 for a professional set! Unless I want to, that is... check
these out!
At any rate, I did a practice set of 2 sets of four, and 4 sets of four, and it looks fine, basically. I could get more cowries, silver embellishment beads, and maybe some peacock feathers, and I'd have something totally acceptable. Now to find somewhere that sells cheap bulk cowries...
Go team me!
Time to start working on tassels for my belt.
