The two new wigs are washed, tamed and dried. I especially like the auburn 'Cherub' wig with it's curly wisps around the face - but it has a bit of hot glue showing through right at center front. I don't think I can fix it, in fact I might make it worse if I try. I guess that wig is just going to have to always have a headdress over it, although the glue doesn't seem to show up too much in photos, so maybe it won't be too bad. Maybe some paint will hide the glue.
I like the brown 'Mandrake' wig too - it's considerably wavier than my other brown mohair wig. I also sewed three tiny buttons on the yoke of the 'Chickies' dress - I've often felt it really needed something there, and I had some tiny, deep red, Barbie shank buttons from 40 years ago. My original baby dress didn't have any buttons there, but I feel the doll dress looks nicer with them.

Now I'm sewing wefting with two more colours of mohair - a long, wavy, dark auburn from a goat called 'Lucifer', and a very long, almost straight dark brown from 'Jessie'. Hopefully I'll get the center front part perfect on both of them this time.
