finishing the tattoo men
one more done-
It is very cold. I feel cruel when I photograph him- he isn’t even stuffed with wool to keep him warm!
It is so hard to get a sense of scale. I thought this might help. He is 23 inches tall.

I think it is funny that you worry about them being cold outdoors. I guess you could knit them little sweaters to wear when they go out.
Do you think you could make a full size man and woman?

He’s great. Absolutely adorable and unique.

Would it offend to say that he looks beautiful? Because he does. Great work with the facial hair.

This has to be my favorite tatoo man of the bunch! I love how you did his moustache and eyebrows – so manly!

Did you see your fat cat on Whip Up?

He is lovely. He reminds me of some of the Chinese figurines that I saw in the British Museum recently.

That is one fantastic moustache!

I love that he and his tat are rocking a similar ‘stash. Fun touch.

Mimi , he is gorgeous – my favourite so far and he looks like the kind of man our mothers warn us about……..

My brother-in-law has this exact mustache!

Awesome hair (both head and face). Love the final surreal shot with the double arms.

He is so ..manly! He and my Kiki would make a lovely pair! Thanks for showing him in scale that helps to see. I love the detail in the moustache and eyebrows!

[...] Mimi Kirchner is one of my absolute favourite doll makers, and her big men make me smile – I love what she is doing these days with toile and making these tattooed bearded men dolls. [...]

Mimi,
Do you sell the big men? Do you ever work on commission if not? I’m so blown away by your work. I’d like to wake up and see it every day.
