Wig Heads







Here is the latest thing I have been working on. In the last year or so, I have seen several canvas, wig heads decorated with different types of faces. I decided that I wanted some to display my hats on. Unfortunately canvas wig heads are way expensive so I decided to try to paint styrofoam wig heads. I coated the styrofoam wig heads with a product called MagiKote which is suppose to make styrofoam paintable. After two coats of MagiKote, I painted the wig heads the way I wanted, and finished them off with two coats of a clear varnish. I love the results and my hats and fasinators look great displayed on my faces untill I want to wear them. Even my husband was impressed
