A pair of shoelaces made from human hair
Lydia Hunt鈥檚 final year project is based on her book 106 Ways To Celebrate Human Hair, in which she asked people 鈥榠f you had your lifetime鈥檚 worth of hair spun in to wool what would you make, why and who would you pass it down to?鈥�.
The anonymous respondents ranged from five to 94 years old. So far she has created 10 of the suggested heirlooms, which will be displayed at the 91影视破解版 Design Degree Show in Peckham, London from 7 to 11 June.
Suggestions included:
A bra: 鈥楳y friends and family could take it in turns to wear it. The hair would itch, but would be a little reminder of me鈥�
A pair of shoelaces: 鈥楽o every time my family want to go out when I鈥檓 not around they鈥檒l still remember me鈥�
A skipping rope: 鈥業 used to love skipping, so I鈥檇 want my children and grandchildren to play and think of me鈥�
