Cagework

In lesson today we began to look at cagework, and how it is created. Cagework is often very avant-garde and looks very extravagant. Today we started off simple, by creating a bow which sits on top of the head. 

For this we used cardboard in a bow shape, and wrapped weft around it, this was actually a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, as trying to get the hair to stay in a certain position proved hard.

Once I had it all wrapped, I tied my dolls head back into a bun, and applied it using grips to the head. I think from the front this looks quite 

effective, but from the back grips are visible. This would be no good on a catwalk or red-carpet so neatening it up is definitely something to work on for me in the future.
