big man- ukulele

I’ve been thinking about making musicians for a long time, but other dolls kept getting ahead in line. Finally, here is my first-

the shirt is appliqued, like on the last doll- the tourist.

here is a link to a wip photo on flickr. I have another tourist sort of done- I thought he was done, but his expression looks kind of sour so I need to work on that a little.

I am not putting these dolls into my Etsy shop right now, because I am working on inventory for 2 shows I’ll be doing before Christmas. One is in Arlington, MA on Nov. 10 and the other is the Holly Fair in Cambridge (Harvard Square) on December 10 and 11. If you’d like anymore info about either of these, email me and I’ll send you the details.

  1. I love your picture of the big man ukulele. I make buttons (the metal kind) with images on them of my art works and I sell them. A friend of mine who plays ukuklele wants a picture of one on a button. I saw the big man one and it’s so fabulous that I wonder if you’d let me use it on a button. I won’t sell it to her, I’ll give it. Please let me know- thanks, Rhoda
