I finished the wigs from the commission catastrophe*!

I angrily cut out every last piece of every last scrap of fur with tiny scissors over two nights then felt at peace again and sewed them together with loads of love while rewatching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (because it feels like going home every rewatch).

There are 80 wigs, all hand sewn with tiny backstitch so that’s a lot of Star Trek - I finished sewing at S03 e22 LOL

I’ve put 71 on ebay but you can order via my email which is my username at gmail.com, via tumblr or flickr for a discount : $2.25 a wig instead of $2.75 or if you’d like one of the rare or obsolete ones:

Currently available:

The main: see the ebay link for the colours and quantities

The rares: 4 pink/hotpink, 2 purple/green, 1 black/redwhiteblack, 1 black/bluewhiteblack, 1 neon/hot pink, 1 neon/rainbow (gone).

The obsolete:  $1 each, short pile wigs: 4 grey, 3 big floofy royal blue, 1 each of the other colours.

1 to 4 wigs postage cost  $1.75 to Europe, $1.95 Worldwide 5 to 15 wigs postage cost $3.20 to Europe, $3.40 Worldwide

That’s the price of the stamp + paypal fees.

I’m no professional so these are very much *hand made* wigs, take a good look at the photos to see the type of fur and it’s thickness. I personally like to trim them once I’ve chosen a style to look less straggly and use needle and thread instead of elastics when making buns, pigtails et al to avoid ripping out fur.

editing to add that you can use these to sell custom dolls; no problems, just say ebayer saffyruth or tumblr firespirited made the wig.

*I was commissioned for make 20-30 wigs for someone in exchange for 1 doll, 1 head and a wig per colour for myself, for almost two years I heard nothing then the client sent enough fur for 5 times that and wanted it all processed and didn’t understand (or was unwilling to understand) that extra time = extra costs. I ended up cutting and pre-sewing 90 wigs before realising that the client expected all that extra work for free, thought I had all the time in the world and they were also haggling about the doll body that was supposed to be with the parcel. I was very confused as what to do and didn’t want drama so I sent them just over half the wigs, and kept half plus scraps. Left it all for six months sat under my bed in a box. Bought the full doll for myself as a treat yoself spite-present instead. =)

Originally acquired this guy in 2010, he was a Volks NEO EB-Body with Custom Hair Head. At some point I decided to attempt inset eyes and things did not go well for him.

Last year I decided to fix him up properly, thinking I'd get the same head again but just paint the eyes on this time. The bad news is Volks no longer seem to be producing these heads and I couldn't find one within my budget. The good news is the AliExpress algorithms have me figured out and this YL YG03 head came with the eyes already inset so I couldn't ruin him again.

Between essays he became my procrastination task with a freshly painted face and hot-glue base wig. By the time I graduated in December he was back on display looking much more presentable.

Although I still can't bring myself to throw out the old head, so that's gone back into storage.
