How do I say 'Outstanding' in Norwegian? How are you finishing the heads? They are beautiful

Hi Ard,
Here is a slick way to make super heads. When you get ready to finish the head you tie in some acetate thread or floss. Cover the head completely with the thread or floss and then use a solvent to melt the acetate. The thread or floss will melt and form a solid head. I think the solvent was acetone to melt the acetate. I use to make ants this way and it was slick. It is not something you want to do everyday but with this level of tying it may be worth the effort.
