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?

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

    [...] 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.
