Boredom + kk scraps = ? Now with new colours!
It's been a while since I did anything experimental with teh hairs, so tonight, after a 5 hour shift at work, I put the kids to bed, sat down and pulled out some scraps. You see, I work as a checkout chick currently. This makes me lose the will to live, so I have to do other stuff to take my mind off it Actually, I'm looking for a less braindead job
ANYWAY. I had some crap black bits and some petrol green. The black is a *bitch* to seal so smooth dreads were out and I'm kinda bored of making them anyway. So I made these. Bumpy wrappy ones. And I kind of love them. In all their kooky, utter imperfection. I think I'm going to make a whole set of 'em. Once I'm done with the swap dreads. And a few design jobs. And moving house. Please. Shoot me. Heh.
So. Whatcha think?
ETA AGAIN! I had a day off today and I also have a cold. So I did some more on this lot for the hell of it. The colours are washy since it's nighttime AND in bathroom light, but the second colour is a hot pink/fuschia. The more I do on these the more I love them. I'm pretty effing stoked with them actually. I think they are by far and away the best work I've done. Yay for experiments in dodgy dread making! I really want to finish them and install them now so I'm going to have to order more hair since I've been working with bits and bobs I had lying around.
ETA : Here are some daytime pics that show the colour/texture MUCH better

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ?
Thanks ladies I think it's the weirdness of them that appeals to me hehe. I think they'll look pretty rockin' as a whole set.

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ?
If I wore those in an install, I could see those being my favorite because of the organic nature. Bumpy and twisted and well-made.
Website? Yup, I have one of those! www.bloodhoney.net

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ?
Thankyou I have developed a preference for more natural looking dreads too. With enough unnatural elements to make them awesome of course heh.BloodHoney wrote:If I wore those in an install, I could see those being my favorite because of the organic nature. Bumpy and twisted and well-made.
Thankyou - me too. I'm always wretchedly envious of everyones amazing talents with textured/wrappy dreads. I'm pretty chuffed to have come up with my own interpretationSynful-Synthetics wrote:I am so in love with these. The texture makes me happy

Added photos of my progress with these. I cannot *wait* to finish them and get them on my head now. I'm going to order more hair so I can finish them.

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ? Now with new colours!
It's not sad at all! I love it when people actually get excited about their new hair otherwise it's just like "Oh. Well.. Special?"
You have a right to love them, they look awesome!

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ? Now with new colours!
LOL true. Well I ordered the rest of the hair for them. I'm so in the zone right now. It's kinda awesome because I've been so 'off' with dreading for a while. It's also kinda bad because it's so freaking hot here right now and extensive steamer running is NOT helping that situation!

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ? Now with new colours!

Re: Boredom + kk scraps = ? Now with new colours!
It's kinda weird actually. I backcombed the crap out of them like always and then instead of a smooth twist, I sort or wrap upwards and around with my thumb, then twist, then form the 'bumpy' bits. Then seal, then wrap then seal again. That's a terrible description but it's kinda tricky to explain!oxalchemyxo wrote:wow I love these.
