Puppet Hair?

[mrhogg]

Hey all,

I'm looking to make some high-quality hair for my Colbert and Jobs puppets. Do any of you know of any places where a person might buy clumps of fake hair to create by hand? I've used Wigs in the past, or fun fur, but I'd like to cry something that will look more detailed.

Thanks,
Brian

Try a Dollmaking supplier. I believe that they have 'wefted' hair that is basically in strips that you can then lay, attach and style. I think Ostrich feathers can come like that as well. Also, try searching 'wigmaking'. You might find some resources that help!

I've been to a wig store (in Seattle) that had packages of loose hair strands for only $3.00 US. I was able to put together a nice head of hair for a granny puppet with it.
