Shareb Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 So, I'm thinking about getting Fred from minidollkits to make Master Raymond my Apothecary. Here is Fred and Raymond.....what do you think? https://minidollkit.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Fred https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=master+raymond&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi--NatuoDfAhUJq48KHZOeD24Q_AUIDigB&biw=1536&bih=787&dpr=1.25#imgrc=yz86m0JjTqH8ZM: So, if I go this way I'll have to make his wig...UGH....not something I'm overly good at. So I was talking to my daughter who put me on to this Youtuber and I've just watched this video. I think it looks quite doable for the making of the hair - of course I'm still going to have to figure out how to style it - but what do you think? I reckon this could be quite a good way of doing doll hair/wigs! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hextian+doll+wig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have better results using Viscose. I have some I could send you. You could also get the kit to send a specific color for Master Raymond https://livingtheminiaturelife.blogspot.com/ I just did a blog post about wigging. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Natural wool roving also makes nice 18th Century wig styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 When you get the doll just order the viscose from Sherri. The wig won’t be difficult, they look more complicated than they are, I think the secret is to not use too much hair, something I’m still working on. Roving can work but tends to get really fuzzy really quick. Karin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 For his style I would blend white and silver and do the basic wigging cross (Carrie had the video on her blog) then cut it short and add rolls on the sides as separate pieces, rolls made to width you want, on knitting needles or similar. If worst comes to worst you can always pull it off and start over. Maybe buy extra hair if you think you might need a few practice runs. I think that doll will be a good match for him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shareb Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Thanks all. I bought wigging from Sherri when I bought Val and Norm as kits. Their hair is okayish......but of course Master Raymond is all about the 'powdered wig'! After having a look at Carrie's blog and the video I actually could enjoy the challenge....maybe..... 6 hours ago, WyckedWood said: I think that doll will be a good match for him! Thanks! I think it'll work too!! Certainly the closest I've seen at this point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
