Wrench

This wig was one of many firsts. It was my first (and so far only) Starlight Express wig, my first wig made for someone else, my first crepe wool wig, and my first time hand ventilating for real. It had also been about 2 or 3 years since I had made a wig at all.

I was asked to make this wig for someone I know online from the UK to wear to Open Day in Bochum, Germany. It was quite a challenge trying to get the wig to fit right, especially since all of the edges would show, as well as just figuring out how to make it all work. In the end, I'm really happy with how it came out, though there are a few things I would do differently if I had another chance. Since it was going to be traveling to London and then to Bochum, I didn't do the final styling of the wig. More pictures can be found here. Front and back edge are hand tied, the rest is glued. Made in 2006.
