It's interesting how things can look so different in real life compared to in photos. I was really happy with David's wig, and in real life it looks great. But it photographs bright orange. So I'm thinking I need to make another in a darker auburn colour. I went through all my mohair, and ended up choosing two, a Dark Chestnut, and a Dark Antique Brown. Both are very curly so would make a similar style wig. I took a photo in the sun to see how'd they'd look.... That didn't help much, so then I thought I'd take a picture with Ringo and David's wigs included, so I could better compare the colours. Well, that helps..... In the sun, and in the shade....What I wanted is a colour like Ringo's... I'm thinking the Dark Chestnut is the closest in colour to Ringo's wig, but the other one would look good as well. I have to choose wisely, since I don't feel like making a third wig....

That's a difficult choice, because both colours are nice. I agree the one on the left looks most like Ringo's wig, but I'm leaning towards the Antique Brown with its nice reddish highlights..

I'm making it out of the dark auburn. Hope I don't regret not going with the dark antique brown.

David is a cutie no matter what color his hair is.

No doubt about it. But this was his first time appearing in photos, and I want a more realistic colour wig.
