and then they had hair

Another week another learning curve.

After finally recieving the fibres for their hair I embarked on fashioning them into the image I had in my head.
I made the mistake (twice) of going for realism and attempted a style based on a sort of wig like structure.Using Tussah silk and attempting to tie and sew I eventually came to the conclusion that even with my usual infalable belief in my own abilities , there was a reason people do things like this for a living.
They've been taught how to do this and I've not.After being very disatisfied with the result I did what was needed and chopped the lot off.The problem was the fibres are slightly different from those I've had before but with a lot of trial and error I now understand how to use it.

Which is just as well as I've got masses.
Anyway, I know that I need to source a supplier of dyed Wenslydale fleece as that is my fibre of choice.Enough about hair.

They are still nowhere near done.Bodies, legs, artefacts, clothes to be made garments to be knitted, all ahead.All good, all will get done.Alongside these pieces I've also been working on other new work.

Thanks as always for your suportive comments.A little bit of a crossroads has been reached and knowing which way to take is consuming my thoughts.

Friday tomorrow, hope you're up to something fun this weekend.I have a hot date with a brush and some paint.....
