Flashback to the Studio - 2017

While waiting until it was time to upload the web files for the Personality Collection Thirteen release, I decided it was probably time to organize and clean out the Magpie files since the last time it was done was, uh, never.

It turns out I've taken a good few studio pictures over the years and I thought it might be fun to select a handful from each year and share them here.

Hairing With Mohair - Braided Tail

 Creating a snazzy braided tail is surprisingly easy. You will need the following:

  • A strip of mohair or viscose hair swatch long enough and wide enough for a tail
  • A pipe cleaner close to the colour of the hair
  • Scissors
  • Tacky glue 
  • Sewing thread to match the hair
  • Needle
  • Embroidery thread to match the hair
  • A fine-tooth comb or clean, dry toothbrush
  • Clothes pin or other strong clip
