I finally made Owen a wig on the weekend. I used some really nice golden light brown mohair from a goat named 'Pharaoh'. I really like the colour, but the style still isn't perfect. I do really like the look when he's wearing a hat, but when he's bare-headed it still needs some work. It may take some time and lots more little trimmings to make the wig just right, but I want to go slowly so as not to ruin it. There is no other mohair this colour in my stash, so I have to be extra careful.
I made him a leather vest yesterday. It will work for both a Musketeer and a Fantasy Hero. His sword was made by a friend many years ago, for a Musketeer figure that was never made. I still need to make a belt and scabbard for it. Without the hat, the vest is a good start for a Fantasy or Adventure character. Stain that pristine white shirt, give him some wrist-guards and a cloak, and he could go off with Kyle on some big adventure.
Now that Owen is finally presentable, I'm going to take a break to make a crib quilt and play mat for my new grandson. I bought some super cute fabric for them last night.
