Blond with vertical stripes this time.


More of the classical toile.

And here they both are!

An old-fashioned swimsuit and classical toile.


Such a handsome fellow!


Lots and lots of fantastic toile imagery.


A close-up of his hair- black with a bit of grey.


No work today- I got my Covid booster and flu shot and they always knock me down. Today has been a resting day.

I have a few new fellows to post this week. I hope you aren’t getting tired of all these tattooed men!


Lots of skeletons… and an antique glass button.




This fellow- tattoos of so many women and children.



An antique button and vintage rick rack.




He has famous landmark buildings in the USA- the Empire State building on his chest.





He better not chop down my plant!
The last week has been very exciting. I haven’t sat down at my desk until today!
We closed on our soon-to-be new home:

That’s the lobby :-) Our kids all had to come see. We had a little celebrating:

We sat out in the garden and admired the view. Yep, that is where we will be!

Now it is figuring out contractors, doing paperwork, picking colors, etc., etc., etc. There will be loads of mirrors to remove and floors to uncover. But, we are so excited! Putting our lives back together has begun!

In my bin of mostly-finished man dolls, I have a few classics.



Here is a closer look at his toile.

An antique button-


And hanging out in the garden.


His hair fabric goes with his tail fabric!



He has some little “jewels” at his waist.


Lots of happy skeletons!

Here is a close-up of his hair-


I don’t think silver fish is a good name for this handsome fellow!

His tail is beautifully silver metallic.


An antique button.



Top knots-

And hanging on the wall-


Before I packed up my studio last winter, I sewed up a number of things/dolls so that I could easily get back to work… well, I wouldn’t say easily, but it has been doable and I am thanking my past self. Mostly I can work on the men dolls, never a bad thing!


I gave him a fancy antique button.
