Hair wadded up from a brush would have been too difficult to untangle for weaving. If you went to Rob from Amersfoort's Sepia entry and followed the link to his collection of daguerreotypes, you saw a woman wearing a hair mourning broach.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-17045539537401375942013-06-15T12:21:06.908-04:002013-06-15T12:21:06.908-04:00I have heard of hair receivers.
