This is my first attempt at making a Judges wig. To put it in context , I am making a series of scenes based on Agatha Christie books. This is for the book ‘And then There were none‘. To prepare for this project I have re read the book and hence the judges web.( No spoilers here) But I digress.
The wig is a symbol of how I have changed during the years of miniature making. I spent a few days thinking about this wig, working out how to do it and what scraps I could use to do it. Then I sat one evening and did the top. Over a couple of other evenings I finished it. I sat it on various bits and pieces until I found a cotton reel, just right. It is sitting on a beehive (1 of 2 I made as part of the scene. )Read the book. Is the wig perfect? No. Did I enjoy making it? Yes. Do I have a feeling of pleasure and joy in the final item? Yes. Do I need affirmation from anyone else? No
I now find when I am doing other things, like sewing, cooking etc, I no longer battle on when it goes wrong. I either stop and try another time or just stop! Yes I feel disappointed if something doesn’t work out as good as I hoped but now I just write it off to experience. Having a go is as good a learning experience as any.
Making moistures taught me that!
