Tiny wispy bangs found in the woods!!!





So i'm working on these halloween dolls...and i 'm trying to wig them all differently....My friend Susan from oregon had given me some beautiful angora fiber...goat maybe?? i dont know but very soft...so i wig one of the dolls in this fiber...and its really pretty hair...as i'm thinking...this needs something else...i look down and ugh..my workspace is getting so cluttered...i push a bunch of "stuff" out of the way...ouhhh! i get stuck by this plant thing i found in the woods that has been sitting for a month...couldnt find a use for it yet...maybe i'll throw it out! Then...some of the fibers fall out...OH MY GOSH...its right next to my doll i'm working on...its the exact same color of her wig..holy crap...they are tiny bangs!!! not only that...they each have thier "own" follicle PLUG that you can glue to the dolls head!!!! They are in the woods!!! they are FREE!!! haha


Yes...its the little things in life that "freak me out" check out wha the plant looks like and how the wispy bags look.....

Do you think you could dye those wisps. I think your use of this plant is what it's all about. Out of the box is what it is. Whoa!
