A New Wig

11/24/2019

I spent much of the the day stressing over a new wig for Lawrence. As much as I like his default wig, I found that his head looked so small on his super wide shoulders, and thought maybe longer hair would help fill him out some. Plus I wanted something more suited to a medieval nobleman. So I sewed fringes from the same mohair as his first wig....

After gluing it all on the wig cap, and doing some styling, I wrapped his wig to let it dry....

I spent some time fussing with the wig, and even though it looked good in real life, it didn't want to photograph all that well.

Then the wind caught him.....

I did like that windswept look....

Anyways, it will probably get fussed over a bit more, but at least both wigs are the same mohair, so he can have a choice - ragged barbarian, or more clean cut noble.

If this wig is the ragged barbarian look, I like it. It does a good job of balancing the heavy fringe on his cloak. It's funny how the addition of the cloak makes the whole outfit photograph blue. Black or blue, it looks great.

It looks blue because the light from the clear blue sky overhead is bouncing off him

Love the new wig! I have a soft spot for guys with long hair, and this looks suitably romantic and medieval. : )

Thanks! I'm still on the fence about it.

I beg to differ about his wig not photographing well. I think it looks fabulous! You did an amazing job changing the wig!!

I've been doing a bit more snipping and styling and am liking it better

He looks fantastic and very noble like some knight from King Arthur‘s table. I‘m already deeply in love with him🥰.

I'm thinking he can be the king

I’m imagining King Arthur as a heavyset man with grey hair, but then someday he sure was younger, so ok😀.

Yes, like Sean Connery when he played King Arthur.

Lawrence isn't King Arthur, but he can still be a King.

Love the wig! What is the white stuff between the fringes? I’m guessing that is what you used to sew the mohair into wefts, but it’s hard to tell what it is. :)

The 'white stuff' is the glue I use between the two rows of stitching to hold all the mohair in place. After it dries (on both sides) I cut up the middle to make two fringes. You can check out the Making A Hard Cap wig in Tutorials.
