You certainly gave me some laughs this morning. :-) Beautiful light on the minimalistic "tumbleweed" of hair.

Wonder if it was Inga´s finger or hair that turned purple...
Well done, Máire, a simpel and minimalistic presentation that I will not try to replicate.
Inga Morozoff09-Jan-2009 01:49
Ok, now I'm laughing. I also have straight hair, and used to pull a single strand around a finger tip until it turned purple! LOL

Try curling tongues for mass production - and you can leave the hair attached :)
So for the next three weeks we're going to have 'blood', 'sweat' and then 'tears' challenges? :)
