Mane chains....

This was fun. Before the Horse show they were cutting a piece of the mane on some of the horses, to better fit the halters. I was petting my favorite horse "Harley" and I looked down and saw his hair. I thought.... hmmm... what could I do with this? then I brought it home and this is what I came up with. a rush job, but it was fun. hey it might sound strange, but there are lots of uses for horse hair, violin strings, etc,.. right? why not art? I thought it would be nice to give all the kids one at their last horse lesson class. it's cute cause now a few of the kids will run up to me with a handful of matted horse hair they found on the ground and say "we have some horse hair for the keychains". It is just a lovely place. we want to nominate this family for the extreme home makeover. they do so much for the community and these horses, and all the kids. It would be wonderful if they could get something like that.
