Took some more photos of Asa in the blue Celtic 'Shannon' outfit. Took some on the picnic table, some under it, and more on the rock-pile. Then we went to the lake - the conservation area on the west spit at Frenchmen's Bay has a great rocky beach for doll photos, and it's just minutes from home. There were so many great photos that I'll need to make a Favourite Photos page, and a final costume Gallery page. Here's one of my favourites taken on my garden rock-pile at the base of a large concrete urn with great architectural detail....
On another note, I'm still struggling with a wig for Tedros. He now has socks, pants and boots on, but I'm no further with a wig. I think I may just have to make him a hairdo the 'old fashioned' way I used to do hair on the art dolls, by gluing the mohair on directly - not onto his actual head, but onto a brown felt wig cap made from my new one-piece pattern. Cover his head with plastic wrap, run a stitching thread under his chin from sideburn to sideburn, and apply the hair to the cap. The hot glue will make the cap stiff so the sideburns keep their shape, and the felt will stay soft underneath so as not to scuff his head. Then wash and style the wig using styling gel. Worth a try. The trick will be to not apply too much mohair but keep it thin.
