I've put together an album with all the photos from my girl's Valentines party. I especially love this photo of Nami offering a chocolate to Byrui. I think Nami looks very pretty in the dress and sweater she borrowed from Bonnie. Just click on the photo to see all the Valentine photos....
Today I have to tackle Asa's new wig. I've crocheted the cap, and have started sorting through the mohair. I found two bags of 'Very Dark Brown' which were purchased from Edgewood Angoras many, many years ago. Back then Edgewood Angoras raised angora goats specially for doll hair, which they sold at local doll shows. The mohair was dyed and sold in baggies marked with the name of the goat the mohair came from. They had a lot of goats, and some had way curlier hair than others. The mohair I'm working with today comes from 'Justinia' and 'Mandrake'. The mohair locks range from 5" to 8" long and are quite curly.
I bought a lot of Edgewood Angora's last stock before they went out of business, and much of that last mohair was quite matted and full of debris, so it's going to need a lot of combing.....

I'm going to have to strip Asa down to her underwear - or less - as I certainly don't want her gown covered with mohair and bits of plant debris as I work on her wig.
