I'm having fun these days experimenting with coloring / dying tibetan lambswool for custom wigs for my tiny ball joint doll. One of the great things about miniatures is the ability to experiment with a few materials and make a big impact. Setacolor one of my favorite fabric paints for customizing miniature doll clothing, is doing double duty for me these days as a hair dye for my tiny wig experiments. It is easy to use, doesn't require me to soak the hide I'm using for tibetan lambswool wigs, and lets me blend colors before I apply, or by adding easily controlled streaks and tip effects.
Easily controlled, no fuss materials certainly make experimenting a lot more fun! I can custom dye doll hair to match clothing or accessories, or just for the fun of it. If it wasn't this easy, a lot of dolls wouldn't have cotton candy coloured hair!
