First two Rehaired Customs ever!! :)
« on: February 10, 2013, 10:03:56 PM »
Okay, I'm so excited. #1 - I finished both of these customs, completely rehaired 100% by me. #2 - I'm now loving rehairing and cannot wait to do more!

So, here's my very first rehair project: G3 Dutch Star Pony
Rehaired with Water Nixie, eyes and symbol repainted and sealed.

And here's my alternate rehair Princess Primrose.
Rehaired with Death by Bougainvillea and aqua tinsel. I think I'm still going to repaint her eyes, haven't decided.

I left both of their hair so long because I haven't been confident enough to cut and style it yet, lol... but I'll get there!

Anyway, thanks for letting me show them off! I'm pretty proud of myself - I didn't break one needle, and on the 2nd custom, I didn't really waste any hair (had some issues on the first attempt on the rehairing process, where I lost a few plugs worth). I LOVE rehairing now, and can't wait for more project ideas to hit me!
Thanks for looking! Any suggestions on styling and cutting would be appreciated!

Thanks! It was supposed to bring out the purple in the center gem a bit more, and the blue was supposed to accent the blue-ish plastic of the actual medallion. Unfortunately, under the light of the camera flash - which I needed in order to show all those beautiful colors in the hair, it washed the medallion out - really making those "yellow/orange" pieces stand out, and make the purple look a lot lighter. In the natural light of day, the color of the gem and the hair are much closer... heh.

And thanks for taking the time to comment on them...  :blush: I really appreciate that a lot.

Thanks all! I realize now looking at the photos just how wonky the factory hair line on that G3 is compared to Primrose's hairline. With her hair, I think I have one hole that was out of place, and one that was "2"-wide in size, but on the G3, they were going all over the place! Maybe next time I try rehairing a G3 I should use an "alternate hairline" and try to make it straighter... but their plastic is SO hard!

I really appreciate all the compliments and views! I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to rehair my next project (of course, that means I have to paint it first, and I'm not so good at the painting part yet, lol!) Thank you everyone  :blush:

The g3's have major wonky crazy hairlines!! Try using a push pin to widen and make new holes :) I'm still digging primrose's hair. Everytime I look at it I think wow!
