Wonderful and so unique !
Manikin, Thank you!
I appreciate all the work that as gone into making this unique and wonderful pillowcase. :-)
Peasejean55, Thank you! I cannot figure out how the hair was done. It feels like real hair.
Wonderful!
PostCard, Thank you!
Is it possible to have a look at the inside of the pillowcase, maybe we can finger out how the hair was sewn.
Looking at the pillow again, I think it's not probably possible to see the work from the inside.
Peasejean, Perhaps it is...let me take a look.
Peasejean, Photo added with work from inside.
Wow, it's certainly been hand stitched. You can see the effort someone has gone to, from the back, to have make this wonderful piece. Whether the hair is real, I have no idea, but in my personal opinion it's a wonderful, lovely item.
Peasejean, I REALLY appreciate your comments. I thought that this was wonderful as soon as I saw it. It goes so well with the French art-deco pillow with the smoking male that I posted here awhile back. Thanks again!

TassieDevil, Thank you so much! Nice hearing from you!
She is really superbly done! Well assorted with the man in top hat!
Lovely piece!
The hair is mohair and it came in sheets with the waves in it . It was likely glued on . Same hair was used on inexpensive dolls vs mohair made into a fine wig .
