Oooh, I'm so excited :-) Today I received the three custom made hair forks I ordered from Eve (blondiesturn on e-bay):

The ebony two prong was made for a plain bun:

The two cocobolo three prongs were meant to hold a french twist (would you have guessed, LOL). I wanted to do a variation with one fork inserted vertically from the top and one diagonally from the side within the seam, so I needed two matching ones of different length. Eves forks work like a charm!
Great quality stuff for a reasonable price.

Thanks again Tresses for recommending Eve's work :D

The two-fork style looks extremely classy and unique, especially with how well the cocobolo compliments your hair color. Very awesome. ;D

Wow, totally awesome and beautiful Madeleine! 8) They look fantastic in your updos; I'm so jealous of your ability to make such pretty 'dos!

Oh Madeleine those are wonderful! I adore the 3 prong matching pair.... Ooooh I just don't know what to say. The craftsmanship (or would that be craftswomanship?) is expert and the grain so beautiful. Of course they look much better in your beautiful hair than just sitting on that table!

I really like the twist too, so creative using 2 forks...

I'm suffering serious toy envy here!

Thank you for sharing !!!

Madeleine!!! Those are LOVELY!!!!!!!

and I just love her forks!!!! :)

Oh, Madeleine, your updos are beautiful. I also just got forks from Eve, but didn't have a chance to take a picture.

Those are beautiful! And once again, your hair looks fabulous--great color!

Wowser, those are nice! I think cocobolo is the perfect color for your hair. That french roll with the light shining off your hair and the cocobolo is stunning. :shock:

The hair forks are beautiful, so are the updos and they look gorgeous in your hair

Perfect in your hair!!

Gorgeous! just gorgeous! the color of the wood is so nice with your hair color. I've never seen a 2 fork style. That is so cool. I've got to get some hair forks! :D I like your earrings too. are they amber?

Wowzer!! Those are stunning in your hair, Madeleine! I especially like the two fork French twist. Absolutely gorgeous! :D

OH those are BEAUTIFUL!!

Your updo's are gorgeous and your hair is so Shiny!

I just love wooden hair toys (specially when made from more ornamental woods). Enjoy them...they are awesome!!!

WOW!

Those are fantastic! You do the BEST updos too. You always look so elegant.

You are so creative too- I can't wait till your hair gets longer and longer- I am sure you'll keep coming up with new ideas. :)

Take care!

Thanks bunches for all your lovely comments :D
Sharing pics with you is so much fun, you always make my day :D

Oooh, do tell, what did you get?

Check out Eve's auctions - her prices are quite reasonable, and she sells outside of ebay, too.


I've never seen a 2 fork style. That is so cool. I've got to get some hair forks! icon_lol.gif I like your earrings too. are they amber?
I don't think I've seen a two fork style before either - I just figured it should work and it did :-) A single vertical fork or two sticks don't hold a twist well enough for me, and combs within the seam only tend to create loops and bumps on top of the roll if I'm not super accurate.
I was looking for a way to fix a twist on the run, so I don't have to stick to a bun if I'm in a hurry in the morning.
I was wearing the two fork twist today and didn't have to adjust it once! It held comfortably all day.

The earrings are made of vintage glass by Maiden's Treasures - they match the hairsticks in my avatar pic.


Thanks again everyone for responding :-)

the hair forks are absolutely beautiful! And the colour of the wood goes very well with your red hair!

xxx_banshee (need to get one of those siggie pics)

So beautiful! You and the forks. How was the shipping to you? If it was reasonable I might look into those......wow....................... The tones just show up so well, what skill.

Can't wait to get the stuff I've ordered now!! *grins* I will have to practice with my existing stuff so when I get then I will be hair perfect.

........off to practice updo's for the weekend.....................................

Bees xx

How was the shipping to you? If it was reasonable I might look into those
Quite reasonable - something around US$3 (without insurance - would have been $18 with insurance, so I took the risk. They arrived flawless :)).

Can't wait to get the stuff I've ordered now!! *grins* I will have to practice with my existing stuff so when I get then I will be hair perfect.
Reminds me that I wanted to call Frau Koehler today to check how things are going, but I was so busy that I forgot. Gotta think of it on Monday ...

I loooooooooove your forks! I need one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am loving all these forks and just wishing I would get one, but.... I figure I have other financial priorities at the moment. Thanks for sharing yours here in picture form. I love to see them, and your hair, as always is wonderful, wonderful!

WOW, Madeleine!!! Those are some amazing looking forks. I didn't know you could get them custom-made. They look absolutely stunning in your hair!!! :bluegrin:
