"blood on the leaves/ and blood at the roots"- strange fruit, billie holiday this new collection is an offshoot of the noir collection- jeweled fascinators shaped like fruits or berries in this case. two sets of handformed copper leaves, hammered wire stems and berries made of opaque czech glass in black and jet swarovski crystals- edging an abstract mound of cherries in black and cobalt czech faceted glass and navy fw pearls. wirewrapped securely to a burgundy barrette-comb (little snap barrette with comb teeth). 4" diameter. barrette-comb is 2" handmade (for a one of kind lady) by anna bronwyn, pulp tart jewelry. "strange fruit" is a poem written by abel meeropol that was made famous in song form by billie holiday. the poem is a condemnation of racist violence- specifically the lynching of african americans- and the chillingly dark lyrics are cradled gently, are even made beautiful, by holiday's wounded, throaty vocals. it is a song that never fails to move me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Fruit http://www.strangefruit.org as an expression of my gratitude for this song, 15% of all strange fruit fascinator sales will be donated to the us human rights network (http://www.ushrnetwork.org/about_us). note- black (see photos), ivory, white, coffee, hunter green, kelly green, royal blue, and cranberry red russian 1/4" veiling in 10"x 4.5" lengths available for $5 extra. i also offer 1/2" white veiling in 10" x 6" lengths (or order a custom length) for $7 extra. make note when you purchase and wait for an adjusted paypal invoice. send a conversation for a color swatch photo.
