Sure they look great at first, but after 5 minutes of play their, done for man, finito, kaput, astalavistsa baby. Brushing starts the process of striping away hairs, eventually making the wig less full, depending on your skill at working out knots. And let us not forget those nasty little hair fibers in the velcro.

But I remember seeing a wig done by Abyss for dwhite601.

I really thought this was a neat idea, looking like the hair from anime collectables. But I also thought that by changing the material I could get a similar look with a nice soft, floppy, stroke-able feel. :turn-l:

These plush wigs are easy to maintain, never need brushing, & seem to stand up to gentle cycles in the washing machine and dryer. :rainbowafro:
Connection to the scalp could be accomplished in many ways as it would be ease to sew fasteners to.

I will be working on a 3rd style over the next couple of days (thick layered shoulder length in camel) and will post pics when finished.

In the meantime I would love some feedback on a 4th hair style. If you would like to see a certain anime type hair style please send some pics to this post of what you'd like to see me work on for my 4th wig. I have 2 yards of black left for this project.

Peace,
Coyote

If I were requesting this for my future teddy-babe, who will ship with long curly hair (which I have heard horror stories about, so it will only be used for photo shoots), then I would want some form of plush wig that would simulate curls, either in a semi-short afro or long curls or waves.



That would probably be way too labor-intensive for your project, however. I am liking the concept, though; keep innovating!

I was going to do this thick layered wig in straight locks, but was looking for some direction. So I have started this piece with my 2 yards of Camel Ultra Fur. Cutting the locks in a spiral, I used an octagonal based pattern, but softer curls could be accomplished with a rounder pattern. It is about half the volume of where I intend to go with this, as I get ready to commit my 2 yards of Black to curly locks which I'll be interweaving with the Camel to finish this wig out. I'll post more pics when it is done.

A couple of other experiments look like they might be feasible for making curly locks.

In the above photo, I have a couple of straight triple locks used in my other wig designs.
The bottom one has an elastic cord sewn with a slip stitch on one edge of each lock before turning R.S.O. After turning R.S.O. the elastic can then be tightened giving me a range from extra kinky to a slight body wave. This has a lot of possibilities so I'll plan to use this in a wig soon.
The top one was 3 experiments at twisting the locks and then stitching a straight line through the twists. The bottom lock is the only version worth repeating.

Until their done, Mila and Femlin are enjoying their new wigs so much I just can't seem to get any rest.

Peace Coyote.

Coyote9, this idea is great!

I am curious about the fabric doll you show. Did you make that? Do you have more pix?

Also, please do keep up the work on the wigs.

Thanks Chiiguy and Obin for your interest.

The dolls above represent 2 prototypes than I have been developing for the last 8 months. These wigs, along with a few more details are some of my last patterns to develop. Once I have completed these 2 dolls I will be posting a business plan and start work on 3 first run Velour Vixens, to be sold on eBay as they are finished.

Their is a link in my signature below to my doll album showing my progress on this project.
I've been using this sight to blog about my work. If you check my past posts found under my profile you should be able to find enough info to fill in a lot of gaps.

In the mean time I will keep posting as this project progresses.

Thanks for the info! I'm interested in seeing where you wind up with the plush wigs. If all works out well I might be interesting in trying one for Sachiko.

I never finished this wig, as I am not really liking the blonde and black together.

I think I will take it apart and use a brown with the remaining camel giving me two more natural colors together. And mixing in some royal blue with the remaining black for a cool goth look to make cosycottage happy :multi:

This wig weighs in at 3 lbs. 13.20 oz. and used 4 yards of Ultra Fur. But for creating the sense of hugging a Frazetta Femme, Bode Broad or Neimans Femlin it really delivers an impressively lush mane.

I wanted to show more range and suggestions of what might be possible in these wigs, so here I wanted to suggest a much more styled anime do.

I can offer a wide choice of colors and animal prints as well a variations on the ideas presented.
Suggested prices for the styles presented thus far:
Double ponytail with bangs $75 (14.50 oz.)

It will be really cool when I can see my wigs popping up in pics of your dolls. :mrgreen:

I will be making a 3/4 size wig for aesopsfabulous this weekend, and I thought I would go ahead and post pics of an extra long wig I made for TedyBare a couple of weeks ago.

I'll use only one layer of polyfelt to two layers of ultra stretch fur, for my wigs.
All pieces have been sewn and are ready for turning.

I'm looking forward to seeing how my wig turns out and thanks for all the photos coyote9. I also wanted to comment that for those of us ordering these wigs for silicone dolls, I really think a fabric covered elastic band built into the inside would be a big selling point for keeping everything in place that you really can not do well with a standard wig.

I also wanted to point out that part of my attraction is the idea of a night time wig for my MLD so I don't have to deal with entanglements and I also get another snuggly aspect to her in the process!

I love the brown one you added, it is glorious! I almost feel like it needs even a little more layering to cover the side where you have the "part" in the hair, it is so large and flowy, has an amazing look to it!

Sorry, I so totally have to dig this one up!
Thank you, Coyote9, for this great idea and inspiration! Maybe you remember me asking you for one of the plush wigs. You gave me a really decent qoute, but I was too impatient and tried on my own. The outcome is really good enough, so let me show you:

#1 The dreadlocks:

They're about what I had in mind when I asked you.

In the last picture you can also see a photo of Karrot's Pinky, I also made her the pink "Moptopus" you can see there, a dread style wig in pink. And I still wonder what's gonna be next...

All that hair was fabricated out of microfibre plush blankets (terribly soft for machine sewing!), they were my first real sewing jobs, and I even bought the sewing machine for this! Later on I had some help, though:
