he was suppose to be a pirate
but he turned out to be more of a biker dude. That happens sometimes. Well, actually a lot. I start out making one thing and it turns into something else. I’m not one to have it all planned out before I start.
I made him a vest- red paisley from a Liberty shirt that had belonged to my Dad. I made his head tie out of it too. The vest just wasn’t working so I ended up using the fancy paisley side for the inside. Now there is a surprise inside.
I like his blue hair.

I adore his wonderful beard. Is there a surprise in it? Like a bird’s nest hiding under there?

I love this guy and see him as a pirate. He could use an earring.

maybe he just needs an earring and a couple of those plats wrapped in fabric like Jonny Depp/Adam Ant. I love him though

I like his blue beard! I’m guessing that was the original plan?! I think he’d work great as a pirate or a biker! Maybe have an eyepatch accessory and he could switch on alternate days! t.x

Yes, he is a biker dude. I like the expression on his face and the piercing blue eyes. Love him!

I adore your pirate/biker dude! I made a little guy out of my husband’s old Legos that was a ninja Indian. Hybrid guys are the best.
