A gorgeous mushroom inspired hair piece. This raffia has been dyed with Lac.
Lac (Laccifer lacca) extract comes from a scale insect known from antiquity throughout India, Southeast Asia, Nepal and China.

I am only new to learning about this dye and I was lucky to have a friend using it in her creations and dyed some raffia for me to play with.

Piece is  7 × 9 cm
Hair pin is 11cm - gum

These pieces are made strong and unique, though hair pins should be treated with kindness to keep them lasting.
