“Grandpa, What’s A Polka?” & Details

Wisp of Hair

Here are some close-up details of “Grandpa, What’s A Polka?” wall hanging.

This is a picture of the accordian player’s hair.  You can see a little piece of fabric hanging down from the hair line.  This is double sided and sewn into the hairline to create a wisp of hair and also give some break up to the hair line so that the hair line does not look so straight.
