Firstly I decided that Anuschka, my Zwergnase Junior, needed a new wig, as her default one, shown in my last post, was really messy and matted underneath her hat so I looked through my wig box and found this one (below) and thought it made a good replacement for her.....it's a Monique Gold wig, I have no idea of the name, but know that once it was a long one, before I got carried away with the scissors!!!! I do like her with messy hair. 😊
So then she got a new dress. I made this using a pattern for Maru & Friends dolls, but the fit is quite good.
Then yesterday I made a wig for my little Irrealdoll Annic. I've struggled with finding a good wig for her because she's got such a tiny head that manufactured wigs, even in her size, seem to have too much hair so they overwhelm her face. I decided to make my own, so I made a head cap with tulle and several layers of white glue, which once hard, makes a close fitting cap. I then used fake fur from a cushion I bought at Lidl, trimming lines of the fur still attached to the fabric, making 'wefts' and then attaching them to the cap, again with white glue. And then once it'd dried, I cut it into the only style I can really do, a bob!!! I'm really quite pleased with how it came out and don't think it overwhelms her at all.
So what do you think?
Apart from that, I have heard that my pre-order dolls will soon be shipping, so that's exciting for me, I hope I'm happy with them both :)
And finally, here is a photo of some poppies that are growing in the dry river bed behind my home.....
I hope you're all having weather to your liking, wherever you may be.....
Have a lovely week!
