Feb. 9th, 2010 04:17 pmThe thing about slow days at the library (which today has been so far) is that I end up browsing random things on the interwebs. Today, I ended up on etsy, looking at barrettes.
I like barrettes. They're how I keep my hair contained, because I am lazy and mostly end up with all of it in a low ponytail, clipped back in a big barrette. Mostly, I wear pretty plain ones - I have two brown barrettes that basically disappear in my hair - but I have a couple lovely copper ones (I love copper but cannot wear it anywhere but in my hair because it turns my skin green very quickly) and one silver one. I keep meaning to buy more fancy ones because it's an easy way to be ornamented and, as we've previously discussed, I love having shiny things in my hair.
If you put in "steampunk barrette" on etsy, you come up with a hell of a lot of results. Many of which are kind of hideous but there's very very pretty things there too.
ETA - Goodness, but there are a lot of things made in the shape of crow skulls on etsy. That's rather distressing. When I searched for crow jewelry, that is not at all what I wanted.
