Hair Metal

One of my ideas for this project is to use my hair as a second material, weaving it in and out of a series of wire link-type pieces. From there, I have two types of construction in mind: a loose, movable headpiece or a rigid, stationary piece.

    Sounds kind of painful, but its a really unique idea. Weaving your own hair throughout the headpiece would almost make the sculpture seem like its part of your anatomy. I defintely like the idea of a stationary piece that moves only when you move your head.

    I like this idea. It is very unique idea and it reminds me of something people might see at a hair show. I think it will be very nice.

    This idea sounds very interesting and cool. I think you should go with a rigid, stationary piece since you are using your hair. That way it becomes like one with you.

    I love this idea! I like the sketch that seems to portray the piece branching out wider the further it gets from the head, I think that really makes it interesting.

    I think this will look really cool. When I looked at your drawing I thought it could be some kind of futuristic hat. About your concern whether it should be rigid or loose, I think it could be interesting either way but if you had parts be flexible you could make it be customizable by bending things it different directions every time you wear it.

    This is a clever idea. Though it could be potentially painful. The idea of a rigid structure that moves only when you turn your head is interesting.

    I really like the idea of this. I think it's very clever to have the wearer interact with it in such a way. It will be interesting as to how it will work both off and on the wearer.

    This is a very cool idea. I hope that it doesn't get too tangled in your hair though. Keep some de-tangler handy.
