Don't think this was cultivated in the little towns in Connacht but...

 

"The beauty of the world hath made me sad,

This beauty that will pass;

Sometimes my heart hath shaken with great joy

To see a leaping squirrel in a tree

Or a red lady-bird upon a stalk,

Or little rabbits in a field at evening,

Lit by a slanting sun,

Or some green hill where shadows drifted by

Some quiet hill where mountainy man hath sown

And soon would reap; near to the gate of Heaven;

Or children with bare feet upon the sands

Of some ebbed sea, or playing on the streets

Of little towns in Connacht,

Things young and happy.

And then my heart hath told me:

These will pass,

Will pass and change, will die and be no more,

Things bright and green, things young and happy;

And I have gone upon my way

Sorrowful."

Looking like hot coals, these cheese curls in a bowl glowed in a bit of sunlight These snacks were in a bowl I set down on my kitchen counter in the sunlight. The cheese curls looked so much like the interior of a hot fire that I just had to take a picture.

I love curling up under the sun for a bit, apparently, so does this lizard .. :)

I was driving by myself, en drab, in an area about 100 miles from home when I passed a small wig shop. On a whim, I turned around and scouted it out. Seeing no other customers inside, I entered and asked the owner if she sold to CD's. Her answer was "Of course." She was extremely nice and helpful. I ended up buying two wigs from her, this one with curls and another one that is similar to a favorite brunette wig, but slightly longer.

A charming cabinet card portrait of a very poised little girl. The mount has a Toronto imprint. It isn't hard to imagine the elegant beauty that this lovely child would have become when she grew up. No name or date.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is my very simple tutorial on doll hair curling. This is the way I use all the time on 1/6 scale dolls. I'm sure every doll customizer has their own way. Use at your own responsibility!

 

You need small bag closers or pipe cleaners. In my experience pipe cleaners hold better, but they also leave little fuzz in the hair that you'll have to wipe out afterwards. I use whatever whenever I feel like it. It's useful to cut them in a really smile size for this project. I make them about one inch long. You can roll as small or big hair strands as you want, but the small ones make smaller and better lasting curls that can last a long time even in Saran hair without any products.

 

Step 1: Roll a strand of hair around the bag closer or pipe cleaner into a very tight croissant, starting from the end of the strand, and rolling hair over the end so that it doesn't unravel. Tie the ends of the closer around each other as close to the scalp as possible. I usually do 20-30 of these croissants.

 

Step 2: Dip the doll's head in hot water. Tea water is hot enough; there's no need to burn your fingers with boiling water. Dip the head in cold water right after; it should make the curls last better.

 

Step 3: Let the doll's hair dry for a few hours, preferably overnight. You'll feel it in your hand when the hair is not damp anymore. If you want loose curls, though, feel free to not wait so long. If you want any product in the hair, spread it over the croissants when the hair has dried and let it set for as long as it takes for the particular product to dry. You can put a hair net on the doll's head to make the curls hold their tight positions better when they dry.

 

Step 4: Open the croissants gently... and you get teeny tiny curls! It's best to divide them in two if you want a natural look, or you can leave them bigger and tie them into a beautiful updo - not necessarily on the male dolls, though. ;-) Note that if you do big curls, it matters which way you open the croissants. You'll see why when you try it. I'm always annoyed by factory curls because they all open in the same direction. Personally, I like to vary it to make the curls frame the face in a flattering way.

 

Hopefully this is useful for someone. :-)
