Victory Rolls in Miniature

We live in a diverse and exciting world.  Endless inspiration.  Well, at least when you can see it!  So I'm constantly looking for inspiration.  Especially in creating my dolls.  It's usually some fashion trend from the past, or a book I'm reading, and currently a show I've been watching on Netflix.    It's called "Bomb Girls" and the setting is 1940's wartime.  The time of Rosie the Riveter.  These characters are so engaging and I have to say, the setting and costumes are incredible!!!  So, yes, this is my inspiration...this week!

I've a sweet little blue eyed doll in mauve pumps that I plan on dressing in a small print pink/mauve dress.  Shoulder pads included!  And of course, Victory rolls!  I'm thinking I'll try these rolls on myself first, then on the doll.  Doing hair on miniature dolls has always been challenging for me. I like to simulate actual hairlines, so they don't look like wigs.  In reality, they are vicose fiber that I manipulate into styles.  I'm constantly changing my technique and learning new ones.  It helps to breathe when doing the hair.  So you don't pass out from frustration!!

I'll post pictures soon.  Now back to my bathroom mirror to attempt those Victory rolls!!!
