【推荐3】When people shower, their hair fall off. Lucy Gafford from Alabama, US, uses her shower hair to create detailed works of art right on her bathroom wall.

One day, she gathered the hair that came off her head while washing it, and spread(铺开)it on the bathroom wall, as she usually did. She planned to throw it away after she was done, but this time she noticed that the hair made up a shape(形状). So she started playing around with the hair and ended up creating a squirrel.
Lucy thought it would be funny to post her shower hair work online, so she photographed the squirrel and posted it on social media. It was only supposed to be a joke, but a lot of people really liked it. So she started getting serious about it and hasn’t looked back since then.
Ever since that very first shower hair squirrel she shared at the beginning of 2014, Lucy has posted new “drawings” at least once a week. She has created 420 pieces of artwork so for. All of her works are done by hand. She doesn’t draw the picture and place the hair over them. Instead, she just takes the wet hair on her bathroom wall and touches them with her fingers to make all these wonderful hair drawings.
