it’s a bird “girl”

I made a new wig while I was away. Sorry this picture is so bad… in this picture the wig is pinned on and has had a first trim. I will decide what to do for a hair-do when the wig is properly attatched to the head.

This is the wig off the head.

This is the inside of the wig right now. I was able to use some of the things I learned at my wig-making workshop that I took at WOW!- specifically around the bangs and part area.

wig03.jpg

This is a close-up of the part. I cut through the wig-cap and brought the yarn up from beneath so that the hair in the part would not have any stitches showing. I need to sew or glue a piece of fabric to the inside of the part to close it up again. It needs to be tightly closed to look right.

wig4.jpg

This is a close-up of how the pieces of yarn are attached. They are sewn on individually.
I used all wool felt for the wig cap and a very fine wool yarn for the hair.

I made some great headways on my trashcan / recycled bag project… for one thing, I discovered that my parents newspaper arrived every morning in a beautiful red bag! They also had other color bags around the house that I could use. And I collected more bags from some friends down there… oh those Connecticut bags- so superior to Massachusetts bags! So I am back in business and hopefully getting more ideas for the next bag project…
I am trying to make dots in this section…

many thanks!

many thanks!

I can’t tell you what a thrill it was to receive birthday greetings from my blog posting! Thank you, thank you! It really made my day.

I’ve been away …

… for 3 days, and unfortunately not at some great vacation destination… I’ve been down in Connecticut again, helping out with Mom and Dad. There are no easy, neat or obvious solutions when your parents are failing.
I brought down several projects to work on and was able to make some progress between dealing with various messes and mini- disasters.
