Throughout my research process I have identified the techniques I would like to use to demonstrate and progress my skills as a wig maker. I believe making a cage wig as part of the collection of headpieces for my project will help me to achieve this. Specialist Practise is our 'last chance' to try a new technique essentially, as major project is where you demonstrate all your expertise thereafter this unit. The above designs are very simplistic small designs, almost sketches, just looking at relevant shapes and styles from what I have researched. The bottom right wig is made completely of flowers and after completing these designs I considered that and now would prefer this to be classed as a 'headpiece' as I want my cage wig to be made of hair, as well as flowers.
The top and centre left designs are very similar. The top one was linked to the royalty of the plot of Shakespeare's AMSND, whereas the centre left looked very much at organic round shapes, almost more natural where flowers could fall onto it and rest. The natural theme was followed through to the top right wig where I clearly tried to replicate the flower shape, however this I feel has made the wig too predictable and floral, and also is made entirely of flowers with hair dressed into it. The centre right and bottom left wigs are very much based on the high fashion approach. The sweeping shape of the hair (which isn't too clear in these designs) is something I have tried to incorporate with nature, simply the way the hair falls around these unusual shapes. The flowers are placed in a high fashion arrangement but as if they are flowering out of the head. I think the key thing for myself in this design process is that I have figured out so far I want to create a cage with height and hair incorporated with the natural essence of flowers and shape. Therefore I am taking forward the centre right wig for further drawing and development as this wig is the one I can identify with most as being appropriate for my brief.
