devilish tattooed man
So finally, some more tattooed men.
There is a pirate in my pile of wips that I cut out in Dec. ’08 and he needs to be finished. I don’t like to work on just one of anything- I think I’ve explained before that if I do, I tend to overwork the one doll. Last weekend I dyed fabric. Early in the week I cut out 3 of the original type. But then, inspired by the tattooed ladies, I started playing with the body types. That is what keeps it interesting/fresh for me. Of course when I got to work on them, the first one to be finished is the new body design.
He looks kind of devilish, doesn’t he! When I stuffed him, I was concerned that he was a little too Bobinsky, but whatever.
I love his hair. I never plan out things like the hair. It always works best if I keep an open mind and just play with the fabric.
The thing is, I had this “great” idea, in the middle of the night. I don’t know about you, but my middle-of-the-night ideas usually turn out to be totally lame in the light of day. But, that aside, I tried to make it work for a while, discarded it, went forward on a completely different hair direction when… somehow that night idea and the hair I was putting on came together and he has his little hair horns. And he has a sewn and stuffed moustache (a first for me).
And here he is, lounging around on the sofa.
I will put whatever men I make in my Etsy shop on Monday, probably around noonish est. There, now I have a deadline for myself and I need to get back to work!

He IS very interesting, indeed. Does he like beets? I love his beerier shape – and he’s definitely not paunchy, like Bobinsky. The moustache is cool, too.

He is great! I love his hair-so your night time idea worked well! And I love the Bobinsky blog! So funny. I like the picture of all the men standing around on your desk in casual manner.

It had a little giggle when I saw that his nipple is almost on top of his “tattoo’s” nipple.
Another amazing Doll!

He’s fabulous! It’s so hard to pick a favorite of your dolls, but the tatoo series is a definite front runner. xo, suzy

So very macho! This fellow is a power lifter, not a toner. Very much the he-man.

I love love your tattoo men, they are so darn well manly…the nipples just ad to them have you ever considered adding a nipple ring? I believe it would speak to the inner pirate in all of us!
