I have made one red Merman before- they are rare fellows! This one is all-around darker than the first one. More of a smoldering fire this time.
Gold rickrack belt with a yellow gem button.
Red Fire Merman
Purple and Silver Merman
The silver isn’t as obvious as the purple, but it is there with the silver rickrack belt, and silver details in his tail. He even has a “diamond” jewel button on his belt.
Back of his hair-
I now live in a historic building and it has a Palm Court! Fancy!
Big Blond Man
After I finished the pirates, I’ve been working with dolls that were already in progress. Some of which I sewed up before the move, so 2 years now. It is great to be able to jump in to a project with some of the design decisions already made.
This really is the most amazing fabric! And look; I found a unicorn button in my collection!
Blond Tattooed Man
He is a serious fellow with lots of Country Estate tattoos.
Here he is with a cat (Jasper)-
Jasper is always eager to help out. And here without a cat-
Man with a Stag Tattoo
Yes it’s a stag and it is a hunting scene. This is some classic toile.
Hounds all over and a man on a horse on the arm.
And then a wild boar on his back.
The Last Pirate
He is the last pirate for a while. I had fun making these fellows!
His braided beard was inspired by someone in our building :-)
This octopus fabric has been a favorite of mine.
He is wearing tails- the back flap is split up the middle.
Sidetracked by a Man with Skeleton Tattoos
I have on more pirate that I am trying to finish up, but this fellow jumped the queue.
I’m not sure what era these skeleton fashions are from- maybe Georgian?
I am being distracted by my little garden these days. It is nice to be outside and mess with the dirt!
Golden-Haired Pirate
He is #4 of the bunch.
He doesn’t have a hat. I just couldn’t bear to cover up his glorious hair.
More skeleton tattoos-
Pirate 3- What? No Beard?!
No beard and no mustache either!
He looks pretty grumpy.
He has an awesome pirate-y button on his belt.
Pirate 2
I like the hat but his hair is pretty good too :-)
Stormy blue eyes. Another antique button.
