Here's Layla, 'Before' and After' .....
Made a couple of new wigs for Layla and Miki today. I still have bags full of angora goat mohair from years ago, and thought I'd try make some shorter 'little girl' wigs out of some of the shortest 3"- 5" locks. I crocheted some wig caps and lined them with nylon tricot. I've discovered that lining the insides of the caps, although a fussy job, does make for a much neater wig on the inside, and the hot glue doesn't seem to go through it and stick to the foil on my doll's head when I'm applying the strips of mohair. After gluing all the wefting onto the wig caps, the wigs are extremely wild and in need of some major combing, washing, conditioning and some more combing.

Yes, I have two websites. The older one has all my older dolls and artwork, as well as my photography. The only thing that still gets updated there are all the trip photos.
