Now that I have a working wig pattern, I can get about 3 1:6 scale wigs to a swatch, which means that I will soon have way more faux fur than I will ever need. But you can never have too many swatches of cool fabric. Coming to me eventually are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tricolor zigzag stripes in the following combinations: black\/purple\/turquoise, pink\/neon green\/royal purple, pink\/black\/red.<\/li>\n<li>Two-color blends in the following combinations: black\/magenta, black\/grey, black\/reddish tan.<\/li>\n<li>Tricolor spiked shag fur [of the style used above] in the following combinations: brown\/black\/green, brown\/black\/red, brown\/black\/light blue, black\/blue\/purple, neon green\/pink\/royal purple, red\/blue\/green, red\/blue\/black.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m very curious to see how the zigzag patterns work out in a small wig.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">This entry was originally posted at <a href = \"http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1434586.html\">http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1434586.html<\/a>.
