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.

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.

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…

a complete make-over…

After

The doll is wrapped in a towel rag to protect it from random paint mess. I’m going to have to work on the nose a little more. The problems pop out in a photograph, when I can’t see them at all when the doll is right in front of me.

and trying out some hair-do options…
