I feel like the finishing of things is going in slo-mo. This fellow has been on my desk for a while.
Lots of photos ahead!
He has a kerchief in his breast pocket.
And crossed axes on his belt buckle.
His chest tattoo is a cow and a milkmaid.
And some poultry on his arm.
Can you see that his hair is made from corduroy? Wool corduroy! I’ve had it in my stash for ages and finally gave it a try!
I am teaching the swaddled baby class this weekend at the New England Quilt Museum. I hear there is one seat left if any one is interested.
I don’t think I have ever seen wool corduroy. Looks great!
Just beautiful Mimi. I’ve been a fan of your work for a while and still get so excited over the eyecatching little details and intricacies of what you make. Look at how that corduroy meets up beautifully into a parting… amazing. Always lovely fabrics that you put to innovative uses too. Liz
All the details look great. Love the cross axe belt! :)
Maybe that’s Babe the Big Blue Ox on his chest?
He’s wonderful Mimi. That wool corduroy is a stroke of genius, I just love that parting on the back of his head.
