Wigging out!



Hello blog buds!   I have finally gotten my dollmaking studio in order and am working on wigging some of my beauties.  A good head of hair (or head covering) is  just the thing a doll needs in order to be finished,  unless your doll has a beautifully shaped head, that is.  I like to make wigs  from scratch.  My process starts out with deciding what kind of material will be used to get the best result. I like using human hair, synthethic hair ,  and wool roving is also a great material  to work with.   Then I measure the head and make a  cap out of a special  type of wig making lace.  Then after all of this is done, I can begin to attaching the hair to the cap, and 'Voila" a star is born!
