Totally Unique Paper Eyelashes
About a year or so ago, I remember seeing photos of a fashion show in which the runway models were wearing the most astonishing eyelashes that looked just like paper cuttings.
Guess what? They were indeed paper cuttings, but now you don't have to be a model to own them! Currently seen sweeping design, fashion, and even bridal websites, the concept of the eyelashes was created by Taiwanese designer, Ting yu Wang of Paperself [site no longer available]. They're also available from nonesuch things of London [site no longer available], which sells cool and quirky independently designed items.
Inspired by artful Chinese paper cuttings, the eyelashes look extremely delicate, but are said to be durable enough to be worn again and again.
I'm not sure I would have the occasion to wear them, but it's fun to dream... perhaps New Year's Eve, a costume party, or Mardi Gras?!

ReplyDeleteoh my word those are incredible. I wonder how those would feel on your eyelashes.
ReplyDeleteI'm just beginning to learn quilling and some of the blogs that I read lead me here. I love those entries about new ideas or new creations that utilise paper as material. An eye opening blog. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I haven't attempted wearing regular fake eyelashes, but I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteOh that is incredible !
ReplyDeleteWow! So cool... I sent this link to my daughter because I know she will like these a lot!

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these wonderful eyelashes - they will make perfect gifts for my grown-up granddaughters to wear for the holiday season.....VJS
ReplyDeleteI thought I should say that these are also available from ASOS. :)
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought I'd seen everything paper! I love these! Thanks for the find, Ann! xo
ReplyDeleteWow. Not sure I'd ever wear them, but they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteInspired !! Vogue front page material.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are neat! I wonder if it is really distracting to wear them, or talk to the person wearing them?
ReplyDeleteAmazing... and what amazing imagination to dream up such a thing! One could design them in Inkscape, and cut them from very thin plastic or vinyl using a cutting machine. Wear your art!!
