No Wigging Series in
January/Feb 2012

**Additional Notes about taking our gratis wigging series online.

CLASSROOM
Each class is taught
verbally. No supplies
are necessary to take the online class. Each class runs from 20 minutes to an hour depending on questions.

You will of course, need supplies to actually create the wigged doll, such as doll torso, viscose hair, small sharp scissors, long corsage pin to comb hair, plant mister to condition hair (see video above). Once you hit Interm/Adv classes, you will need a pleater (1/4", 1/2" and 1" are the sizes I use) and various different diameters of knitting needles.

Students take Beginners and Intermediate class. Then to pass on to the advanced class, you must send a photo of a doll or wig stand - with a basic hairstyle that you created using the class directions. You send this photo directly to DANA

Upon graduation, you will receive a graduation certificate worth framing and a link to a special (Graduates ONLY) video on wigging.

Ever wonder how you can get really nice smooth hair like this? Check out the wigging video (conditioning viscose) under the *LINKS* section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The perfect way to make tendrils or loose spit curs, is simply mist a small strand of viscose, wrap around long darning needle. Slide off curl while sitll damp, and let air dry.

(see how the tight ends are perfect for spit curls and the middle could be soft tendrils across the back of her head, or coming out of a bun?)

This is the way to make soft, natural curls.
