Yesterday I posted an appalling pile of hair art that still has me swallowing hard. Many of you were similarly terrified.
I can’t erase the past, but perhaps I can make this right by giving you something on the opposite end of the spectrum.

This is the work of artist Melanie Bilenker. She makes jewelry featuring tableaus of everyday, ordinary life. “I do not reproduce events,” she says, “but quiet minutes, the mundane, the domestic, the ordinary moments.”

These pieces are so beautiful in their simplicity.
And every delicate line you see is made with her own hair.
