Wearables Tried making a feather wig

Jul 21, 2016

    1. Alright, so when I got my bobobie Ni a wig I got the wrong size, 6-7 instead of 5-6. So when I managed to get my hands on a bunch of gray fluffy feathers I thought why not, and made her a feather wig. Thoughts?

    2. I would have never thought to use feathers! That, my friend, is so original! I like it!!!

      Now I am curious how you put it together? Glue? Hard cap? Very cool!
       
    3. Thank you! Yes, what I did was make a cap out of elastic fabric, then cover it in acrylic glue to make a hard cap. Said glue was also what I used to glue the feathers in place :)

    4. Genius! It looks really cool and sooooo unique. I love the concept of using feathers. (Shhhhh...... don't tell my pet chickens!)

    8. Awhh it looks so cute on her! Good work!
       
    9. Thanks! :3nodding:
       
    10. Aaaah this looks fantastic! I've wanted a feather wig for my doll for ages but don't know how to go about it.
      This turned out great!
       
    11. Thank you! As I said, it wasn't that hard, I just made a hard cap out of fabric and glue and then glued on the feathers. I think the biggest challenge would be to find the right kind of feathers, though.

    12. This is amazing and so unique!
       
    13. this wig is really cute :) I like that this feathers that you used are so fluffy :d
       
    14. That is so cool, I've never seen any one do that before! Its got so much potential. It might be fun to try feathers with some beads or even a feather+mohair wig. It also might be interesting to try making an up-do hair style with feathers.
       
    15. Thank you! Yes, they're super fluffy, it makes me want to pet her head constantly!

      Thanks, I find feathers pretty inspiring! I think I'm gonna make more once I have the feathers.
       
    16. I absolutely love the color choice as well! Everything about this looks so natural despite it being made of feathers and being blue/black xD if that makes sense <3
       
    17. That is amazing and very inspirational! It turned out amazingly well!
      I think my only suggestion is that you may want to clip the tip of that one exposed feather shaft, since it appears very white against the grey feathers. May may give it a more complete hidden look if you do. Just a suggestion, of course! Doesn't take away from how absolutely stunning the wig turned out! Great job over all and it's so cute! ♥
       
    18. That looks great! What a nice color, too. I've made one attempt at a feather wig that didn't work out; I'd like to try again.
       
    19. Wow!
      I always wanted to make a feather wig, it has been a project waiting in my list, but still not realized :sorry

      Finding the right feathers looks hard enough, I mean the right size(s) for the head you're making the wig for, the right length, the right color... And then the right technique and angles to put them together! As far as I can see, your work looks excellent and like a good reference I'd need to look at when I'm making one in the future!

      I quite like how you used the natural angles of the feathers, she looks very convincing that she indeed has feathers as hair on her head. And together with her face up and attitude, this wig seems to have transformed her into a sweet and macabre creature :love In my opinion, it was for the best when you got a wig in the wrong size, because she's way more unique now than any wig would make her :3nodding:
       
    20. FEATHERS?

      AHHHHH that's sooooop neat and original! You make me want to experiment with this! What a fun concept!
       
    21. OMG this is amazing!!! I think everybody said it all, very original, it looks great, and I'm sure it feels soft <3
       
    22. This is fantastic! One of my future projects is a feather wig and I can only hope it would look just as good!
       
    23. very lovely! I think it fits your doll very well
       
    24. Thats so cool and creative!
