This fellow is definitely a circus strongman- it is the striped tights. They say is all.
And he also has an anchor button. I wanted something big and metal.

He has ALL the classic tattoos!
I’ve gotten very attached to these twisty beards.
Lots of skeletons having all kinds of fun-
Also, a popping red sash instead of a belt.
I went out to Chicago to visit the kids and now I’m back to work. All this fabric isn’t going to sew itself!
I love this very weird toile that I believe was from a Williamsburg collection that has George Washington as a Greek god (or something?!).
He’s got a vintage metal button on his belt.
There is a lot of action in this toile!
There is a big stag, hounds, and hunters.
On the back, there is a boar.
I embroidered his belt with variegated ferns and he has a vintage hunting button.
Are you thinking, I don’t see a boar hunt? Well here is the rest-
There is a lot of green with his tattoos and clothes so he needed russet-red hair to balance out.
Skeleton Tattoos for October!
The truck is rented and packed up and we are off to Northampton later today. I have one more doll to post tomorrow and then I will see you next week!
He has to be a farmer because who else would have all the vegetable tattoos?!
And his other side-
He has an antique one-hole button on his belt.
Fancy boots-
And his portrait in front of my favorite wall which won’t be around much longer because that house is being renovated.
I won’t be listing anything new into my etsy shop until October 12, when I get back from Paradise City Art Festival. If you think you’d like to come, you can get a ticket discount here.
This fellow needs to spend a little more time out in the sun!
Awesome beard action and dark green eyes.
Who wouldn’t love a giant vegetable tattoo!
I like these wood buttons.
