            Making  handmade mohair wigs for your antique, antique reproduction dolls since 1977

Welcome to my handmade mohair wig web site for antique dolls and reproduction antique dolls. I have been making my custom handmade mohair wigs for antique doll collectors and  antique and  original reproduction doll artists since 1977, and what a joy it has been throughout the years helping you complete your doll with the perfect hair style. I started my business making wigs out of a small shoe box of english mohair, needles and fabric, and with my mothers help I fashioned my first wig on a Sunday in 1976 . For many years my mother  collected fine antique dolls, sold antique dolls and repaired dolls for the public  .  Through the years as I watched dolls come in to my mothers collection I was able to enjoy each doll and their history, which to this day I value, My first attempt at wig making would lead to many years of trial and error, with lots of trips to the garbage and hundreds of dollars of  hair supply and wigs tossed out.  With the help of my clients ,they helped my wig making business get on its feet with encouragement and great advise along the way. Today I feel so thankful to have worked for some of the biggest reproduction doll artists that are now gone, they taught me so much along the way as a young artist, what to make and what colors they needed for their dolls, it was all so fun.     Through the years my work has been seen on the front covers of Doll Artisan Guild magazine, Doll Reader and various other doll publications. Many years ago I was honored with a drawing of myself and one of my original designed wigs in” Ripley’s Believe It Or Not”, that lead to an article in Grit magazine, showing a photo of me sitting in my studio. In the early 80’s, Mildred Seeley included one of my designs in her french doll books showing one of my little handmade wigs with instructions on how to make a mohair wig for a doll, but it wasn’t my wig making method,  still it was such an honor showing one of my wig designs, primitive as it was .  Many of you already have some of my early wigs, which were signed with my maiden name Wendy Haugen.  Each wig I create is on a hand-sewn cotton wig cap, which is fashioned on a bisque head to create a wonderful fitting wig for your doll.    All of my mohair wigs are stamped and hand signed by me and dated by me, never do I make a wig without signing and dating it .  Over the years I have created 42 original mohair wig designs and many antique  variations, all in all, 63 designs in my portfolio .  Please remember, my wigs are hand made and will vary slightly from the picture shown . I work with many styles and textures of mohair off  many goats, young and old, and every goat has a different style and texture of mohair depending on age and genetics. I also work with English mohair, which I primarily use for my fancier designs you see with all the spiral curls and braids.   When choosing your wig design, I also offer 100% silk  bows which I hand tie and  hand sew onto each wig. If you do not want a bow added to your wig, you do not have to order one, it is only an option.

My old website is still showing up with wig pictures and wig ordering information, please disrequard this old website and Book Mark this new site so you see what is new. Look for page updated dates at the bottom of pages before ordering. Pages  with updated dates are, Frans handmade doll shoes, Pre-made wigs, silk ribbon page, and my Home page. These pages only, will always have updated dates on them so you know you are seeing what is current.

New web page:  My silk ribbon sales page is up, along wih other doll finds from my studio shelves. You can find this page in my menu above. On this new page you will find silk ribbon, ribbon spools, handmade doll stockings, lambskin scraps and other unique items I am parting with.

Time off -   I will not be making special made wigs from May 1 through August 2024, it is my summer break I take every year to wash and dye mohair supply .   During my time off, May through August I am not totally closed ,I will still offer my premade doll wigs, Frans handmade doll shoes and everything on my ribbon page throughtout the entire summer.

I do offer pre- made mohair wigs, my pre made page can be found in my website menu.     Pre made wigs are  made and ready to send, so no waiting, just email me the wig number and letters shown under each wig picture of the wig or wigs you are interested in and I will get back to you with a PayPal invoice, it is that easy.

A customer of mine sent me this picture of her new doll wearing her new wig, Christa .  Wig shown was made Vintage mohair Dark Brown, a color I now nearly out of.   Her beautiful doll was handpainted by doll artist Sayuri Sinn.
