I did a wefted reroot for WarmLeatherette, and trimed the hair so she wasn't tripping over it. Wefts are a little tricky to finish so that you don't see the "weft"; sewn bit thruogh the hair, mohair wefts are easier but this tuned out OK. :)
The interior preserves the head and shoulders of a bearded warrior, moving to the right. With his shield on his left shoulder, he wears a cuirass decorated with a palmette and drapery over his right shoulder. His Corinthian helmet is worn off the face, and a wreathed scalp lies on top of it. Gloria Ferrari ( "Myth and Genre on Athenian Vases," Classical Antiquity 22.1 (April 2003), suggests the figure may be Achilles wearing the scalp of the Trojan prince, Troilos. Around the tondo, meander pattern with chequer squares.
To the left of the warrior’s head is an inscription:
ΕΥΦΡΟΝ]ΙΟΣ ΕΠΟΙΕΣEN
Translation: ‘[Euphroni]os made [it]’.
The exterior (not seen here) preserves a Centauromachy. It depicts a foot of a fallen Lapith, the hind leg of a Centaur, and a greaved leg of a Lapith who thrusts his spear into the flank of a fallen Centaur (seen in rear view). Blood spurts from the wound.
Greek (Attic), Athens, ca. 490 BCE.
Attributed to Onesimos (Greek, Attic, active 500-480 BCE) and signed by Euphronios (Greek, Attic, active 520-480 BCE).

Just wanted to document how I fixed Hope's scalp before the mohair was rerooted...I sewed it and added a bit of E6000. She will be getting a side part so this will just "blend in and hide" once the reroot is done. :)
PS Sorry these pics are from a week ago..... I have been uber busy helping my hubby with a big event he had at his shop last weekend (which included a house full of people). Now that is over and done with I am doing some serious catching up. Eek!
Le cuir chevelu d'un Yéti dans le monastère bouddhiste de Khumjung au Népal.
Scalp supposé provenir d'un yéti (en réalité d'un serow) une chèvre sauvage locale apparentée au chamois nommée goral de l'Himalaya, une espèce rare mais déjà répertoriée.
Le yéti, également appelé « abominable homme des neiges », est une créature anthropomorphe du folklore du Népal, de l'Inde, du Bhoutan et du Tibet. Du fait de l'absence de preuve matérielle de son existence, la communauté scientifique le considère comme un être légendaire, un cryptide peut-être né de l'observation de fossiles de gigantopithèque par des populations himalayennes dépourvues de connaissances scientifiques. Des créatures équivalentes, grands primates ou « hommes sauvages », existent dans le folklore de plusieurs régions du monde, comme le Bigfoot en Amérique du Nord, l'Almasty dans le Caucase ou Basajaun au pays basque.
Le village de Khumjung est connu pour sa célèbre légende du Yeti de l’Himalaya. Les villages de Thame, Namche, Khunde et Khumjung avait pour coutume d’organiser ensemble le festival Dumji. Mais un jour, une forte dispute éclata entre les peuples concernant l'organisation de cette fête. Les villageois de Khunde, Namche et Khumjung décidèrent alors de se retirer pour rejoindre Khumjung. Pour symboliser la paix entre les villages, ils s’offrirent tous des présents. Les habitants de Thame toujours vexés de la dispute envoyèrent un scalp de yeti au village de Khumjung qui considéra ce cadeau comme une réelle offense. Ils décidèrent de renvoyer leur cadeau en signe de contestation. La plupart des Sherpas croient encore à la vieille légende du yeti. En effet, on raconte que celui-ci terrorisait les habitants de l’Himalaya. D’après les Sherpas, c’est l’incarnation d’un mauvais Bouddha. On dit également que le fameux scalp du yeti est encore préservé au monastère de Khumjung.
D'après diapositive.
I made the thatch a long time ago and picked it up again recently. I added extra plugs to the middle back so pigtails are possible without showing excessive amounts of scalp.
The fiber is from mohairhouse: www.mohairhouse.com/Natural_combed_mohair/cat3404328_2911..., very long and very beautiful. Most of the fibres must have been full length because the braids hardly lose any thickness at all towards the tips. That's pretty awesome!

I have dipped it in water with conditioner in it and braided it, hoping to de-poof it and bring out the gorgeous luster.
I love this little sweetie, one of my girls that I re-did in early February of this year ... so Chris and Kersten helped me decide on a new scalp for her. This is a gorgeous re-root by Shershe, I think the first one I ever got from her! And this sweetie loves her Melacacia dress from Blythecon!
the amount of hair still on my head? hadn't even been cut to be styled yet. That was just pure de-ponytailing.
for tanya...needs to settle a bit and if you like we can do the cut when i come up on Sat
Farley agree to try the scalp on to show it off ^^

Finding myself in possession of my very own CaM ghost head, I decided to tackle the issue of the hard plates set into the head, which is something that bothers me quite a lot and has made me hesitant to get any of the hard-headed CaMs until now. After i extricated the hard plate with the help of my nifty X-acto, i found that there actually is a small bit more of soft vinyl scalp beneath the hard plate. I could probably bifurcate the two, once i acquire another test subject.
Anywho, I then found myself in want of a patch for this gaping hole in my poor ghostie's scalp, and found what I needed in the head of a Barbie! I carefully cut a perfectly sized portion from the Barbie scalp and fused it to my ghost's head with gel superglue. I am excited to see how it will hold up to being rooted.
Built as Texas and Pacific GP35 606 in 1964, Kiamichi GP35m 3802 found its way into the RailAmerica family who reassigned her to the Otter Tail Valley in Minnesota and has now apparently cast her away. She somehow found her way onto a BNSF train heading through Savanna dead in tow, most likely heading for the Quad Cities and a new home at NRE's Silvis facility. If she ever leaves, it most likely will be as a Gen-Set.
