Wigs and a tiny doll (Pictures added)
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 7:55 pmSee ladies and gents... I recently made a very, very small wig for a 3 and 1/2 inch BJD and it came out better than I thought it would being so small and having absolutely no experience in such things. This tiny wig was made entirely of gauze, tacky glue and black rabbit fur.
I got the rabbit fur from this really ugly set of three rabbit fur coats that I got from my grandmother... I basically took apart the coats after I got them and started turning them into other things, and I have tons left. I personally think the furs look better on the animals. I'm not real big into wearing furs unless you live in the wilderness and had to hunt the animal in order to eat and live.
I digress, I am thinking about making a much larger wig for a 40 cm doll, if you have visited my other post in the custom creations thread about the Doll I am building from scratch... It would be that doll I'm building the wig for... For that doll, I really need three wigs if I want to be true to each of the very specific stages in the book that I'm writing about the character itself. (not the doll, the character in which the doll is based on)
#1: one long and neatly tied back.
#2: one long, left down, scraggly and un-kept.
#3: One short and rather messy.
I plan on making them all myself but I think I can make the short one right now with the rabbit fur I have.. I have allot of colors and specifically the colors I need for Victor's particular hair. I am excited to see the finished product but not excited to actually do this again... Honestly, I never want to do it again with the rabbit fur. But I know I'll cave in and do it anyway... Oh and I'll post of few pictures of the little BJD I mentioned before with his new wig, I made him in three hours while watching lord of the rings for the billionth time.
I will also take pics of the process of making Victor's short wig if I decide to do that tonight... I always seem to get ahead of myself when I make things..... I end up making all the accessories first... Did I tell you I am also in the throws of sewing a tiny pair of cargo shorts for victor too? Well I am.... Ugg, which would explain why I haven't been working on the doll itself... *I scold myself with a wooden spoon*

Now, if you like Final Fantasy Seven or all that jazz you might like the "Mini Vinnie/Tiny Turk"... Its something I whipped up out of bordom in three hours... It came out alright so I thought I would put a medium length black wig on it and call it early Vincent Valentine so that I could ship it out to a friend that needs something cute and creepy to stick in her purse. I hope she has fun frightening her co-workers with it. Keep in mind... This doll was not made with care and love the way Victor is being made... It was just a practice exercise that grew his own devilish, snarky, annoying, evil, pain in the chops personality. It's a good thing I pity the thing enough to send it to a good home where it will be loved into oblivion instead of going in my dark gloomy box of reference material.
