Hair process

Initial tests:

I began this piece by measuring out a 60 in sq piece of fabric and drawing a 25in sq circle in the center. I then sewed a running stitch along the circumference of the circle and washed out all the marks from measuring.

I filled in the circle with dark artificial hair at its base, and felted real human hair that I collected from hair salons on top of it. This layering created more depth and made the circle stand out starkly from its white backdrop.
