I'd heard about doing videos and slideshows for product but being inept, hadn't a clue where to begin. Google is my friend, though. Within a few minutes, I had a first slideshow up and online.

PonyTail to HairPin Demonstration
I've realized that in using our thinner elastic cording, our Singlet hair accessories are able to be used in a secondary way! By wrapping the cord around the legs of a large bobby pin, the ponytail holder can be used as a hair pin!
For our rhinestone collection, this is an obvious and easy way to get more value. By day, the hair accessory hold your ponytail in style, and for the evening, with a few twists and turns, it adorns your upsweep sytle in a glamorous way.
I hope you'll take a moment to click over to our "Ponytail to HairPin Demonstration" and see for yourself.
Questions, comments and suggestions are appreciated, and there's a guest log included on that page. I hope you'll let me know your thoughts.

She Does Hair - Stylist Blog
So. You've shopped Talisman Studios and have just received your order. You've got a fistful of beautiful hair accessories and though you know they'll give any Plain Jane ponytail a healthy dose of va-va-voom, you just have the feeling there's more.
Well! There certainly IS more one can do with our little ornamental accessories. I'll be doing an occasional post on stylists who offer tips on ponytail techniques and to start things off - we have an incredible find for anyone who likes to show a creative flair with their hair.
She Does Hair is a blog with so many ponytail styles you could do a new 'do' each day of the year if you felt like it. The writer, who goes by the handle BlackeyedSue, provides clear photos to show how she achieves each look. Her model is her young daughter, and though many of the styles do have a youthful exuberance, they easily translate to looks for teens, young ladies, glamour goddesses, SteamPunk afficionados, sexy librarian types, and even - let's not forget her! - our working women, who want a new way to finish off a simple hairstyle that takes them from the desk to a night on the town.
Some of my favorites:
Technique - Knots
Her is a VERY easy way to get a cute look that anyone will be able to achieve great results with. Imagine a dainty glass button ornament finishing off that twist! Sweet!
Four Messy Piggies All In A Row
The stylist uses bows to give her daughter a cute-as-a-button hairstyle, but with Talisman Studios hair accessories, you can use those buttons to get a cute-as-can-be! look for a teen or punky/emo girl.
Star Part Puffy Braids
This look will take some effort, but - I think it will be worth it! So cool. For office, weekend or a special date. Depending on your choice of ornaments, the look goes from casual to dramatic.
As an enticement to try out these styles - stay in touch with our shop. We've got literally HUNDREDS of diminutive ornaments we haven't yet added to the inventory. We're readying them as we write, and will starting adding them to the shop in the upcoming days. Some of the multiple pony's that our stylist shows on this featured blog will be perfect for these hair accessories!

An Opportunity for Giving
The Cheyenne River Youth Project® Prepares for the Annual "Passion for Fashion" on Saturday, March 7
Here's an opportunity for giving I ran across this morning. The link is here: lakotayouth.org
It's a call for donations of formal wear, hair accessories, make up and such, for high school girls from from the Cheyenne River Reservation in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. These girls, who may not have the funds for such items, will attend an event THIS UPCOMING SATURDAY, 3/7, where they will get to choose among the items to wear in their Prom this year.
I am donating several hair accessories from my shop at etsy.com and hope they will add to the magic and memories of prom night for some of these girls.
If you would like more information, or to donate, click that link above, and follow through by clicking the "Read More" link on that page. I've exerpted a bit below for quick reference.
Note: The event is on short notice for donations to arrive, so act quickly. Though they would like to have items received by Thursday, 3/5, they are able to accept later arrivals. Some of the girls won't be able to attend the Saturday event, and they can also save the items for next year as this is an ongoing program.
