Last week, I tried to make a fishtail on my own hair, after watching a tutorial on youtube.
Sadly, it didn't work, and it was hard to see what I was doing, or how the braid was turning out, because my hair is black and I had layer strands sticking out, annnnd it seems my hair isn't long enough to do a fishtail braid. :( I was getting frustrated with my hair, that even having damped hair, DIDN'T WORK!! >.<

So the other day, I noticed Anna had her looong hair out in a ponytail, and I started doing the fishtail braid on her hair, and OMGOD! SHE IS SOOOO LUCKY TO HAVE LONG HAIR! LOL. It looked great and cool on her, but again, since she has black hair, the braid is hard to see. :/ That's the only sucky part, I think fishtail braids look sooo great on people who have lighter color hair, because one can see the braid. Don't you think so? I think it's easier on the eye. :)

I had to take a pic of her fishtail braided hair. :)

And on Saturday I also tried the fishtail braid on my mom, lol, and it worked, looked pretty cute on her. ♥ :)

Morbid Accessories by Julia DeVille

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:21 PM PDT

Combining her love of taxidermy with her love of jewelry, Australian jewellery designer Julia DeVille combines her creative accessory output with the art of taxidermy for a gorgeously morbid result.

Inspired by nature, history, life and death, Julia DeVille's work are emphasizing the beauty of life in relation to its end rather than the standard gruesome morbidity we've come to relate with passing on. From the immortalisation of baby animals like kittens and deer with sparkling jewels in their eyes to the molding of gold and silver in the delicate nuances of turtledove bones, Julia DeVille's work is a celebration of even the shortest breath taken.

Using only animals that have died from natural causes, increasingly DeVille finds that people who have encountered her work and recognize art in the afterlife donate the majority of her materials.

Julia now produces her jewellery under the label DISCE MORI. Her artworks are created under her own name.
