Those tattood man are so wonderful, at first I didn’t like them very much, I found them too ‘male’ (sorry to say that). But you work in such detail and with such love on your dolls, that I start to appreciate every detail of them! They are indeed very masculine , but with the colours of their trousers and their gentil little shoes, they look so elegant at the same time. You’ve done (again) a wonderfull job!
I still have had no time to try out the little decorations (I’ve had my first craft fair this weekend!) from your turorial, but I surely will before christmas!! And me, I’ve written a tutorial too: Wine wings (what is that??!), you can find it on the right side on my blog).
oh yes, and the one with the beard looks like a Belgian fashion designer(http://www.waltervanbeirendonck.com)!! You should let him know about your artsy doll that looks just like him!!
oh, my goodness! these are so wonderful and clever. i really hope the raven-haired, mustachioed gentleman is still at craftland when i go this weekend… seriously, too perfect!

I checked out Walter Van Beirendonck’s website, and you are exactly right! They could be twins. I wonder if he has tatoos? Maybe he’d like to use Mimi’s doll as a model… :)
Hi there! I am a female tattoo artist from California AND a dollmaker. I just wanted to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE these dolls. I shall surely buy one in the future to display in our tattoo shop once it is in my budget! I love how old fashioned they look, like strongmen from the circus. I wrote about them and linked them on my blog- jttp://kaismart.com/journal.
Beautiful work.
