The hair sticks themselves measure about 7-1/2" long, and were moulded of acrylic in France sometime in the 1970s.
I've added a flower-and-vine motif of tiny beads individually stitched into place, and from that, a tassel of flower and leaf glass beads.
The colours are mainly deep reds and medium greens, against a background of ivory and bronze.
I've used ivory and bronze seed beads in the dangles as well to mimic the colours in the beadwork.
The longest of the fringe elements in each hair stick is a tad longer than 3-1/2".
These intricate and feminine ornaments will make wonderful gifts for the girl graduates in your lives.
Naturally, they're from SPARKLE PLENTY.
