Sterling's Wig


What a great way to finish over 700 hours of work—well, almost finish.

I have always imagined Sterling (my foppier-than-me alter ego) wearing a hat and having long curly hair, so this morning, having sewn two hat forms together, I decided to take a crack at the hair. My plan was just to test some materials to see what kind of paper I might use.

Then, when I tried the wrapping paper I bought for the vests, it was PERFECT! SO I did his hair and I shouldn't have. I should have done the hat first but I have been impulsive since childhood.  Now I will have a bit of a challenge to finish the hat. But who cares. I can look at that stunning hair if ever I feel poorly.

I have Sterling's hat to finish and Vivicean's hem to do.

Allan really wants to do the show but he has to talk again to his doctor. We have an actor on stand by in case Allan cannot do the show or we do not want him to because he cannot walk properly, but everyone wants Allan in the show—especially Allan.

Once I know who is in, I can do the fittings of all his costumes and then I will be truly finished. But I am very close and what remains is slight.
