A Wig for Dominic
I'd spent two and a half months working on a story, and in one scene, Dominic enters the room, and he comforts Miho....

And it hit me just how much I disliked his wig. It was the best I had available when he first arrived, but I had always envisioned him with something else. As an older man, I envisioned him with long, combed back hair, sprinkled with grey. But that is the most difficult kind of wig to make, since the entire front hairline would show, and men have a very distinct hairline. I used to be able to do it on an art doll when the hair was glued directly onto the doll's head, but making a removable wig in that style is a totally different thing.
But since the new story would take place many months after he last appeared at Baron and Naomi's wedding, this was the perfect time to finally address his wig. So I chose a dark brown and grey mohair, and set about making the 'salt and pepper' fringes for his wig. Then I spent two whole days gluing the mohair onto his wig cap, one tiny bit at a time.

Then I reshot the scenes in the story...
But I still wasn't happy with his wig. The gray was too 'chunky' in areas, and his hair was too 'pouffy' on top. I considered starting all over from scratch, but before I did, I'd have nothing to lose if I played with this one a bit more. So I took a different, warmer gray mohair, and glued wisps of it in place to even out the grey, then worked in a bit of hair gel to tame the top.
Much better!
The wig could still use a bit of trimming, but it was good enough for now.
Naomi's New Dress
I had Naomi standing around in her new red gown, which was almost finished, so she posed in her new apartment for me...

Baron and Naomi
Some photos of the two of them together, which didn't make it into the story.
First Getting ready for bed a few days after Baron returned home. I chose not to use them because they were too much the same as the photos from their first night back together.

Then a few I took with Baron's bandages off, and still with his 'injury makeup'....

A Sweater for Jude
I had decided to take Jude and his family along on a trip to the Maritimes, and wanted a new sweater for Jude...
