This what Iam working on now

This is my first attempt at the mottling technique. I know that its' not perfect but I just love the fact that it doesn't look painted. there is depth and dimension to her face and I am starting to feel like a artist.

I am in the process of rooting a very full head of hair. I and doing this because all of my daughters where born with very, very thick heads of hair. It's a very long process but the results will be great.

Processing Mohair

Well I have finally gotten around to processing my Mohair.
I used premium colored mohair that is 6 to 7 inches long. I will only be using colors black , brown and chestnut. When you use colored mohair it works as a primer for the darker colors.
This makes the dying process much easier. These pictures are of the wavy texture.

I learned that when dyeing with colored mohair it was drama free. The mohair is soft shinny
and it smell goods
