Another of our new ideas for unique and 'different' hair sticks is now available at our Etsy shop. We've had a line of dangle hairsticks for some time, but were looking for ways to improve. So, interchangeable dangle hairsticks were born. These hairsticks use a silver-plated barrel clasp (like that found on a bracelet or necklace) to allow the dangle to be removed and replaced with a different one. This makes the hairsticks very versatile, as different dangles can make them suitable for many different occasions. We will be selling sets of hairsticks with several dangles, and also separate dangles. This means that if you have already purchased a hairstick from us with our interchangeable system, you can collect a variety of dangles to attach to it.
We've just listed the first of our interchangeable dangle hairsticks at our Etsy shop. In future, these will also be available at our website, once we have completed our redesign. The first hair stick we've listed on Etsy is shown in these pictures, and is a 6 inch wooden hardwood stick topped with a pink faceted Czech glass bead and silver-plated round beads. One dangle features a vintage-style butterfly with black detailing and more pink faceted beads and silver-plated beads. The other dangle is shorter, and consists of jet-black faceted glass beads and silver-plated beads.
We'll be adding hair stick and dangle sets, and also individual dangles, so check back at our Etsy shop soon!

Art for Hair Joins DaWanda
So, since we have so many European buyers, we decided to join DaWanda and set up a new shop there. DaWanda is an online marketplace for hand-crafted goods, like Etsy, but aimed at the European market. We're still finding our way around, but so far it looks great, and has some really useful features for both sellers and buyers.
DaWanda has sites in English, French and German, and since Lindsey speaks all these languages, we'll have our items listed in all these languages soon. So far, we're still feeling our way around. We've listed some hair sticks and have forks to come.
The green flower, hand-carved red oak sticks shown here are available on DaWanda as custom length - choose what length you require, and we'll make them to your specification. The pearl dangle sticks have a 6 inch functional length and feature freshwater pearls in a beautiful dark peacock color.
A couple of differences from Etsy are how users can leave public comments for items, and set up 'pinboards' of their favorites... oh, and prices are in Euros, of course!
If you're in Europe, come visit us at Dawanda soon!

Hair Forks now on Etsy!
Yay! We're so excited to list the first in our collection of hair forks on Etsy. This beautiful three prong hair fork is hand-carved from poplar, a light golden-colored flexible hardwood. It has a butterfly hand-carved in relief on one side at the top. It's a total of 6.25 inches long, with prongs 4.75 inches long. We'll be adding more forks soon, in a variety of woods.
Hair forks are used in much the same way as hair sticks. Just weave the fork through a bun in the same way as a hair stick, as this picture of a fork holding a simple, cinnamon bun shows:
