Wig in a Box

Today I am featuring a wig that I made while in graduate school at Wayne state. It was a part of my advanced make up class, which included mustache and wig weaving.

I took inspiration from the Kabuki theatre's Lion Dance. The way these wigs move while the performer is dancing is fantastic. The fullness, shape, and weight captures the regal nature of a lion while still falling lightly when moving thru the air.


Below is a fantastic video of a Lion Dance being performed.



Now, the wig I made is a smaller, shorter version of this with a more rounded shape. It's amazing with a crochet hook, some sport jersey, and a ton of white and light blue fuzzy yarn can do.

Ta Da!!
