He has the same vine fabric for his skin, but different hair, belt, and boots.
And even closer-
He has the same vine fabric for his skin, but different hair, belt, and boots.
And even closer-
I love how his hair came out so here is many photos!
And his beard-
How about a little owl button?
This time it is a blond farmer with suspenders.
Corn on the front, tomato on the back!
He has the classic tattoos.
I was so thrilled when I discovered this fabric! Here is a little peak under his beard-
A vintage metal button.
More on his back.
Well, skeleton tattoos on a man :-)
Bright colors!
These skeletons are having loads of fun.
He also has an antique glass button on his belt.
Can you relate?
This fabric has skeletons enjoying a day in the park and I’d guess it is Victorian or Edwardian era. I gave him an antique button on his belt from that time frame.
His mouth got a bit hidden by his beard.
He has a vintage hook for a belt buckle.
And decorative laces on his boots.
Look at all those veggies!
He is my ode to the end of Farmers Market season.
I am in mourning for our country and democracy but will not bore you with my angst. I will try to keep this space positive. It will be a challenge.
I pulled out my bin of tattooed men parts, right after I cleaned up the tiny world mess- and it was a huge mess. And then several things happened to distract me.
Firstly, 2 of my kids came over and we rearranged my studio. Now that I’ve been working a while, I knew it wasn’t the best layout. Here are some new photos-
Rearranging everything untied my organizational knot. I got a lot of things stored away and am feeling much better about my space.
The next distraction was that I discovered that my houseplants had thrips. If you are a plant-nutter like me, you will understand my anguish. I spent many, many, hours dealing with that mess. Some plants didn’t survive :-( Now I am keeping an eagle-eye on my house jungle.
I was doing some doll work through this all- just very slowly. Next up was cleaning up my garden and bringing plants inside (without new bugs I hope!). That’s when I decided that I needed to put up a window plant shelf. That involved actually painting the windows which I had been procrastinating about. Here is where I am at with that project-
I’m getting there. I really had to do this now because the weather is cool but not freezing yet. I can still open the windows, but in the summer it would have been too hot. So the studio is still a messy project but progress is being made. And I finished a tattooed man!
I don’t know what this imagery is actually called- it is skeleton Christmas.
So hopefully, more will be coming soon. Take care of yourself.

When I saw these tea cups at the thrift store, I had to grab them!
How tiny are those sheep? Very tiny.
