First show-off and Hi! I'm new here =)

Forum rules
If it is fake hair related it goes in here!
1) Nice clear pic of the hair- we are not particularly interested in cam whoring - you want to show yourself off - put it in the gallery for 'everything else'.
2) When commenting - please be more OT than "wow you are freakin' hot!" We all like to be told we are hot mamma's - but mention the hair too!
3) Please don't be horrified if people give you helpful criticism. If you give criticism, please do so respectfully.
4) If you would like to NOT hear criticism, please say so.
5) If you are specifically looking to refine your technique, please post it in the "Critique" section (under Advice & Know How) so we can help be extra picky. ;)
6) The Show Off section is only for showing off hair, not making sales. Please make no references to eBay, A and P, or any kind of sales. You may offer the same item for sale in A and P, but no cross linking between A and P and Show Off. Show Off should be a place to comment and encourage each other; we don't want Show Off to become a billboard for sellers.

First show-off and Hi! I'm new here =)

Post by anmorata » Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:04 am

Hi my name is Elizabeth and I started my dread journey about 8 years ago when I made my first set for myself. Since then I've been making dreads for my friends and within the last couple years I've started an etsy business selling dreads. I love to learn new methods and my current obsession in crocheted dreads (even though they're a pain in the butt and so tedious!). Anyways, here's some fairly recent stuff I've been working on, and please forgive me if the pictures aren't super high quality--I currently have no camera so some of these are customer photos.

Thanks everyone!
shrijani, I made the crocheted dreads wavy by crocheting them as normal, wrapping the ends around a marker, and then sealing.
