Crazy mad sheepy wig at 1 AM!!!

Made with Genuine Sheep Content. And very long-pile that creature was, too, not to mention full of little plant bits. (the wool came to me through a craftster swap as extra raw fleece, washed but not otherwise processed) I was afraid it was going to be way too big, but I'm actually quite taken with the wild sheepy hair look. It may get tribalized and tamed slightly at some point (because what wild sheep girl doesn't want bone beads in the shape of skulls in her hair?) but I hope just enough so it's easier to see her horns and not much more.

( three more... )

In other news, I'm down to one box still unopened of fabric to inventory (and then I must box the inventoried stuff back up, since the empty boxes are hanging out in my parents' room, and they were last heard from leaving CA on tuesday...) and the house has been returned to something resembling presentable, at least until tomorrow or so, when the cat will have tracked a nice layer of clumping pine sawdust all over the floor again. Sigh. But see, I do think about other things than dolls, really!

and so it goes...

Large-piece fabric inventory is finished. There may be a few lurking large cuts of fabric somewhere, but I'm not worrying about them until they actually turn up. Next is sorting to stuff things back in boxes (they are semi-sorted, but the piles are bound to be the wrong size) and then I may not deal with the problem child bits (smaller remnants, half-finished projects, bits still large enough to make people clothes but with none of the original width of the fabric remaining...) until after I get back from England. The final number is 177 different fabrics, 90% of which or more are at least a yard in length. La, la, la...

If I get a chance, I'll post samples of the best and worst, not to mention figure out how to add up total yardage.

Also, I have the pattern sorted out for the steampunky vest I'm supposed to be making, so now all I have to do is decide whether I'm using the rust colored wool or the sage green to make it out of.
