crin

Crin is the old Chilean folk craft of mini basketry using horse hair!
 I first read about it in a post by Chilean textile designer Karen Barbe. Any art involving hair just completely fascinates me. It is such an interesting material to work with and I can't image the time and intricate hand work it takes to create even a single flower. Exquisite.
