My Wig Tutorial

I am so excited to be working with Goodwill and their sponsor The News and Record. Goodwill has asked us designers to create one look entirely out of paper! I’ve never worked with paper before but after some research I was pleased to find that working with paper is remarkably similar to working with fabric. Not only am I using paper to create a garment, I’ve used paper to create a wig! In this blog I wanted to give you a little DIY project that is super easy and fun. It’s also very customizable. I was inspired to create a [...]

Let’s talk about this Unconventional Materials Challenge

Designer - Caroline Baxley Let’s talk about this Unconventional Materials Challenge. This look is going to be pretty exciting and crafty. I love to imagine new ways to make things and make them happen. I know I will use my love of painting in this look. I have painted leather for one other look of the show, but the paper challenge will be more like a blank canvas. My old friend paper mache will be accompanying me on the creation of this look. The last time I used the paper mache technique was when a friend and I tried to [...]
