it’s rainy sad beautiful days like today, that Mary Collins comes out.

Visiteuse.

I made this wig and dress, so that the drapes match the carpet.

some doll wigs of late.

My latest doll wig “AUCUN! RIEN!” will soon be in the hands of its owner, a most charming collector in Paris.

What excites me about things [dolls too], is to break the rules.
Taking dolls that are created for mere decorative purposes, trapped in tacky ethnic garments pinned or glued on them, un-re-styleable hair, rigid immovable bodies, permanently propped up on bases, cursed to eternally spend their lives on some shelf, and setting them free.
Some of these dolls have unexpectedly amazing face molds that go to waste in such distasteful incarnations.
I found this doll in a Chinese supermarket and was immediately aware of her potential. Head made of plaster with impecable skin texture and inset glass [i.e. plastic] eyes, great facial features. The styrofoam body, tacky Chinese extravaganza outfit, nylon hair, etc, are instantly ripped off of her, a multi-jointed body for the head, a human hair wig and presto-change-o, she is free to be whoever she [you] want[s] to be.
In this case, a mod get up and Westwood shoes.

My latest Mdvanii doll wig “Infidèle”. Human hair, in silver lilac grey color.
For my Mdvanii and Dheei doll wigs, I use the highest grade of European human hair. I then specially process the hair, for it to become pliable in such small scale, then I dye it in the desired color, weft it and finally construct the wig and style in a permanent hairdo. Each wig is one of a kind, I don’t repeat styles.

My new wig “Les Roseaux Sauvages” is now available for Blythe doll collectors worldwide. She is in a intense, cool lime color and comes with a headpiece of vintage flowers and black ribbon.

It’s being a very strange morning. Must forge ahead however, [into the shower] and go meet my agent for truffle french fries.
