Playing around with hair accessories for Miss Havisham

For my Miss Havisham design I wanted to add some accessories that will represent Miss Havisham’s eccentric character but still being clear that it was her wedding day when she stopped in time.

I brought some artificial flowers in IKEA to use in the hair. The flowers were originally fairly white so i left them in tea bag water to dye the fabric to make them appear older. Originally I was thinking to use all seven of the flowers I brought like this picture on the right. However I think that this looks too top heavy and over the top.

In addition purchased some lace from Fabric Land which I made into a veil like head band which I may use for the assessment. I also left these fabrics in tea to soak up the colour.

These images below are using the accessories as well as including the dolls heads hair into the design. I will have to use some of my models hair for the assessment as the wig is fairly small on the head. I will need to use some of my models hair to also cover the lace around the front of the wig.

Here are the images of using the accessories on the dolls head.
