The hair of these little gals is what finally put me over the edge, and caused me to put them away, unfinished, for several years. It never seemed to work out right.
For one thing, I could never get it to adequately cover the blue dotted lines on the face, which mark the hairline. The only reason you can’t see them now is that I carefully fixed the hair before scanning the heads. I think glue may be in order.
Just thinking of the hair made me feel queasy when I recently got them out to finish. “Get it over with!” my inner me said. So I gritted my teeth and finished five heads full of angel hair this week.
It makes a big difference to just be able to pick up the head and plop it onto the body, without having to worry about embroidering smiles or sewing strands of hair in place. I feel like I’m well on the way to finishing the project in time for Christmas, as planned.
