  • Foam wig for the incomparable ME (@methedragqueen) worn at the NADC final at Royal Vauxhall Tavern (@rvtofficial)
    Congrats to all contestants the entire season was OUTSTANDING! And of course to the spectacular winner!
    Loved making this, obviously inspired by the incredible creations from Priscilla. I will be taking commissions for new pieces in the new year.
    Paints used are Liquitex (@liquitexofficial) acrylic inks! Through an airbrush they are absolutely delicious!
    Hope you like 😊

    I was there when Maude Boate (Michael Gates) invented these foam style wigs. All of the materials came from an industrial waste/offcut facility called Reverse Garbage. Basically we were all so broke we didn't have money for anything so Maude came up with this to cover the cost of 'wigs' for herself and then for production budgets. She probably started making them in 1993 as far as I remember. Of course Stephan Elliott stole this and a lot of stuff off us for Priscilla the movie. Then much later Maude got the contract to make the wigs and headpieces for the long-running stage production of Priscilla so what goes around, I guess.

      Thank you for sharing this story! I find it so fascinating that foam wigs were invented out of necessity, and made from sustainably sourced materials.

      Lizzie Gardner was coming to Seattle to give a lecture on her designs for, P,QotD, and a friend of mine was working at the museum that was sponsoring the event, so I decorated the lobby of the theatre the presentation took place in.
      The largest wig is about 3’ in diameter. I use backer rod, and weld it together with a heat gun.

    I enjoyed watching this video. I've seen some of the better known drag artists wearing these and had so many questions about the construction but i see that they are basically sculptures. I applaud you talent🙏. Please stay safe and be well.

    • @mattiegriffiths
      @mattiegriffiths  2 года назад +13

      Thank you very much thats lovely to say. Yes they are very much sculptures, I would also say there are many different ways to go about making one. This one was only my second and I myself am still figuring out what is the best way. A good tip for prop making is that theres no wrong way to make a prop 😁

    She’s gorgeous! There’s a water based, odor free contact cement from Worthen Industries called, Worthen Formula 1812 (like the Overture!)! They don’t ship it in cold weather, and l don’t know if they have a distributor in Europe…I’m glad to see you wearing a respirator and gloves!

    Nice. The back looks off tho. I would start on the right-hand side and go across the back to avoid that gap in the middle. It would be ok to have different lengths on the left side as they could be blended into the wave and the part.

I have a wig that needs a crazy base (Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2) and this technique looks so good! Incredible work!
