Crochet mullet wig beanie- Bubblegum Pop- pink and orange, hand-knotted, large size

Description

Bubble gum Pop has sold on exhbition at Gallery on Dowling, and will be off to a new home after 6th December. But if you would like your own, hot pink mullet wig, please contact me.

This fabulous and unique, pink and orange creation has a mullet-esque, retro style; business at the front, party at the back, as the saying goes. It exudes distinct Cyndi Lauper, 1980’s pop vibes.

Pink is the main colour, with ‘pops’ of orange coming in a close second, (pardon the pun). As the wig’s length increases from front to back, the colours shade from pale to deep. So the fringe features soft dawn tones- baby pinks and pale apricots. It shades through mid tones- coral, carrot, flamingo and tiger- to bold, strong tones at the back- hot pink, tangerine, fuschia, rust, and of course, bubblegum.

The entire wig is lightly sprinkled with tiny, bronze sequins and sparkly yarns to add a glitz. This is a very dense and thick wig- much fuller than some of my wigs.

The pink and orange colour scheme is simply striking, and should coordinate with lots of outfits, from jeans and tshirt to evening wear. It is also very, very warm indeed.

Every single yarn ‘hair’ strand of Bubblegum Pop is hand knotted into a striped, crochet beanie base, made of very soft but substantial and strong, slightly fuzzy, vintage 10ply wool/mohair/synthetic yarns.

The beanie base is actually not shaped like your traditional beanie, but more like a wig, with a little extra room in the crown for the wearer to tuck their hair up inside. The beautifully soft, fluffy, pink edging yarn, slightly snugger than the rows above, should help to keep it secure, although it balances well.

It supports hundreds and hundreds of multicoloured strands of yarn, each individually knotted into place by hand. Yes, these take some time to make! The ‘hair’ is made of a huge variety of different coloured and textured yarns. The fibres used include wool, mohair, alpaca and various synthetics.

It can be trimmed and styled if desired, as the strands of ‘hair’ are knotted individually onto the base and are not integral to the structure.

Bubblegum Pop is large in size, best suited to warm and enliven a cranium of between 57cm/22” to 62cm/23.5” approximately. The ‘hair’ should fall to about bra-strap level in the middle of the back.

This is definitely a large wig- I have an average-sized, 22” head and it is too big for me at the edging, but sits in place well because it is nicely balanced and the yarns are fairly heavy.

Bubblegum Pop was designed, crocheted and knotted by myself. No patterns were harmed, or even used in its making.

It is made from a huge and eclectic collection of natural and synthetic fibres including pure Australian wool, cotton, linen, mohair and alpaca, along with synthetic eyelash, feathers and sparkly designer yarns. Please handwash and rinse it in lukewarm water, then roll in a towel to gently squeeze out excess moisture, and dry flat. Please do not bleach, machine wash or tumble dry.

Shipping-
I use Australia Post and usually send out parcels within 24 hours, except on weekends and public holidays, when the post office is closed. Shipping to the US/UK should take about a week to ten days, but unfortunately shipping delays can happen sometimes. If that’s the case, let me know and I can follow up the parcel’s progress from this end and keep buyers informed. Where possible, I’m using express/priority shipping etc. (at no cost to customers) for the most reliable delivery and tracking.

Australians- I’m presently using Express shipping within Australia to do my best to get parcels delivered as fast as possible and provide tracking.
