Description Whoo! The Namine wig, that was made to go with the costume. I'm so happy I'm getting more of a chance to make wigs

This will be worn (with the costume) to Sogen Con 2007 - if you're going, lemme know how it looks, k?

Anywho, a base wig of Eulora fiber, which is a high quality synthetic. The flip was originally styled in, and then I had to pull it out because it was way too much. Some chunking and cutting had to be done, too - I think it turned out quite well, myself!

And isn't the black backdrop fantastic? I loves it - much more than the white one! Everything looks so purdy in front of it

[link] has all of the information about commissioning one - I do think I have one of these wigs unstyled and ready to go, so I could make it relatively quick

Check out my site - [link] - and shoot me an inquiry for them! I probably can, depending on how soon you need them done by

Namine is easy, I've done about 5 of them now, but I haven't done Roxas before, but I do know how to do it

thank you, but how much would it cost? i don't have alot of money right now (5$ ) and is shipping free? I'd need them done by october, so you have time

Well, unfortunately, the base wigs aren't cheap to begin with. The Namine wig would be at least $100, and the other one would be roughly $125, and I'm currently making wig commissions at the cost of the materials and supplies to make the wigs. Shipping on each wig is roughly $25, due to the size of the box, it having to be insured, and packed really carefully on a headform for shipping and storage ^_^;;

If money is a huge factor, you're best off either styling your own hair, or buying a wig yourself and practicing on it

can u tell me where i can get the wigs for cheap so i can style my own?

taeliac In reply to MarchHair9009 [2008-07-30 22:00:15 +0000 UTC]

Well, there isn't really anywhere to get them cheap, that's the problem. You can always try Halloween wigs, but they're made like crap, and usually, they won't style at all, and you'll wind up being more frustrated and throwing them out, but check like Wal-Mart or Halloween Express if you want a really cheap one.

I order my wigs from Amphigory [link] - they're good quality for the price, and style incredibly easily (i.e. they don't look like frizzy crap, and you can actually put a comb through them!)

thank you so much, are the wal-mart ones good or at least better than halloween wigs or peices of crap?

taeliac In reply to MarchHair9009 [2008-07-31 17:04:09 +0000 UTC]

They're basically the same thing you can buy at Halloween stores, unfortunately...

what's the average price u buy ur wigs for?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

taeliac In reply to MarchHair9009 [2008-07-31 22:01:48 +0000 UTC]

Depends on length, and how thick the hair is - the cheapest I've used is $35, the more expensive if it needs to be longer or whatnot, the average pricing being $50 per wig... and then there are the extension wefts, or loose hair bundles, for filling out or styling...

I already sold this one, but I could do another one really quick, as I'm sure school isn't going to be too bad starting out And, I have to order wigs either way, for a personal project... shoot me a note, if you'd like

Aw! I actually didn't get to Sogen, this was from a commissioner -- I believe they're on dA as ~gallow-thieve

I really wanted to go to Sogen, but it was the same weekend as Geek.Kon in Madison, WI... Hopefully next year I'll get to go, tho

I bought from Amphigory, but I don't think they ship overseas...

If you really need, I could probably buy it for you and have it shipped to you - I've donethat before for otherpeople

Oh yeah, no they don't. I have checked that site out before. Too bad :/

And thanks for the offer but I couldn't put you throught that ^_^. Besides, I think Katie Bair offers that so if I find nothing else I might use her site.

I haven't decided if I'm going or not yet... Probably not though... Unless work really did fire me, in which case I'll probably say "screw it" and go to make me feel better about my life for the time being.

FutureCarrotLab In reply to taeliac [2007-10-02 15:59:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, I suppose I'll find out tonight... if I remember to go in...

But I have to go see my dad in the hospital, so maybe I *should* leave it until tomorrow? o.o;;

(Life decided to take a giant crap on me lately, dad's house burned down, three family in the hospital, classes are going poorly now that I've missed *two days* of school, a teacher's been freaking out on me, I may have lost my job, and now my mother doesn't help by telling me how lazy and worthless I am working 30 hours a week, pulling 17 credits, AND seven dogs dead from the fire... When I swore at her after that, I think she finally realized, though. She got one of those "Oh, shit.." looks in her face. I never swear at people.)

taeliac In reply to FutureCarrotLab [2007-10-05 15:38:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh noes! Is that what they're thinking of firing you for? That's horrible!

I really hope your dad is okay The teachers shouldn't be freaking out at you, either - that is all a lot of work. I dont' see many people not in college doing nearly as much as you're doing, and they're not considered "lazy". I always get so angry when I hear people's parents throw a fit about the amount of work it takes - it's a huge amount At least know that there are people out there who understand... I hope she gets a good dose of reality shortly, and can at least not make everything worse by saying things like that

FutureCarrotLab In reply to taeliac [2007-10-05 16:55:22 +0000 UTC]

I don't think she's going to now... I gave her 200 bucks last week and I can give her another 250 next. I quit my job yesterday because I don't really need it now that the rest of my financial aide will be processed and sent on monday, so maybe I'll just go to geek.kon this weekend o.o

I love last minute decisions.

Well, I'm hoping she won't at least...

The first bit of advice from my psych teacher, "When there's a trauma in your life, and someone tells you to "just get over it", tell them to fuck off."

I love my psych teacher.

Anyway, in Madison now sitting at someone's house o.o

This one was a case of "what does Louella (makeup instructor) have in her cabinet that could work?"

I dont' even remember what it was, but it was a thick paste, like pomade (sp?) -- I'll check Monday when I'm back at school, becaue I should probably buy some myself...
