Mary Corbet explains how she made a bonnet with attached hair for a small felt doll she's making, using a cross between stumpwork and doll making. This might work very nicely for curls on my next project!

Drizzling
No, it is not raining in Chilly Hollow. I'm watching Rachel's drizzle stitch video.

See the green hill the lion is sitting on? That's the 17th Century version of drizzle stitch. These days the stitch we call drizzle stitch is a sort of cast on bullion but in Queen Elizabeth I's day, this was drizzle stitch. For comparison purposes, here is what we call drizzle stitch in the 21st Century. In both cases I suspect the right thread is key, so you may have to experiment a bit to find just what works for your canvas.

Mary Corbet may be an embroiderer, but she's up-to-date on the needlepoint world's new trend--adding beads to stitches. Here is how to top your drizzle stitch with a bead. Not familiar with drizzle stitch? Not to worry--Mary has links to a video on how to do this stitch in the article.
