Korea wig - planning stage; face testing
Oct. 6th, 2009 01:51 amOkay, due to the sad, sad Hetalia cosplay wigs on ebay I've decided to try to make one of the more difficult wigs to see just how easy it is to fuck up a Hetalia hairstyle. I may sell it after, as this is just a practice/for fun kind of thing [and I've wanted to attempt to do a wig styled after Korea for ages! It looks like such a fun challenge!] but only if it actually turns out nice. But hey, who knows; maybe I'll fall in love with it and keep it for myself. xD
I've never done something this complicated [the closest I've come is my Canada wig; which seemed to get it's fair share of love for such an unnoticed character ;D] but I think it could be a fun thing to try out. I have it all planned out, but it actually going as planned is a whoooole other issue, so I figured I'd keep track of my progress here so if I do mess up I can try to find out where it was I messed up, or maybe even get some tips/advice about this!
I want to make an accurate wig for Korea, which includes the little face in his hair curl. my concern is how small it has to be. I don't want to make the curl and face huge, but I may have to make it a little big.
I have pictures of the basic idea. It's rough, uneven, and not even the right colour, but it gives you an idea of what I'm doing.

I'm still looking around on ebay for a nice, long-ish wig [so I can cut it to the right length and keep an extra piece for the curl] and once I find one I can get it and go to town. I have most the supplies I'll need and I can do a few test runs with the long pieces of hair I cut off.
I'll make another post when I get more done.
Again, any tips/advice/etc. would be awesome! :D Thanks!
P.S. If all goes well I'm thinking of making little Korea hair curl clip ons for people who already have a good wig and just want the curl; or for people who just want to wear it randomly or something. xD Anyone even remotely interested? I know I'll probably make one or two just for fun/practice and I thought I'd throw it out there.
