I've been crafting a custom hairpiece for a very special gal the last couple weeks, in my spare time. I should've had it done by Sunday but I was given a unique specimen which was too large and too precious to keep in the freezer so I chose to put all other activities on hold so I could skin this...wonderful creature. Full story to come shortly. In the meantime, I was told by my client that she wanted a hairpiece for a gal pal of hers who enjoys wearing, of all things,ducks on her head.
What I want to know is, how have I not met this woman and if/when we do, will we both implode from the sheer weight of our shared sense of high fashion?
Her friend gave me a time and price range and we worked out this little ditty right here:
Sorry for the shadowy picture but I'll beg her to let me borrow it later to get a professional shot for my website. I mounted a squirrel head onto the kind barette which is held into place with a stick driven through the hair. Technically it's a bun holder but they work just fine for ponys and half ponys. The squirrel was embellished with some jewelry and feathers, while his feet wound up dangling from the stick part.
Creating wearables seems to be more and more the direction which makes most sense for me. Art is so much more accessible when you have it on your head!
