Remember way back in July when I posted this as unfinished? I was making no progress so I put it aside. There is nothing like a deadline (or upcoming sale) to get me motivated and I’ve finally finished her!
None of these photos are great but it is pouring rain so that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it…
She is big and solid and red and I think will be a real eye-catcher on my table.
Mimi, I love it! She’s really fabulous. I would elevate her and place her right in the center of your table. So eye-catching!
I love this robot! She’s so feminine with that cute apron and belt. Definitely a “fembot”! I love the hook and eye components you used for the facial features, and the “push” tag above the chest buttons. I couldn’t read the ones on her waist – what do they say?
she is SO cute! she reminds me of the ‘rosie’ character on ‘the jetsons’ cartoons! (knowing that kinda dates me, huh!) i liked her…she was fiesty, but loveable!
What Cindy said. Exactly.
She looks great! Is she weighted at the bottom so she stands up?
She is stunning, Mimi! I’ll bet she’s one of the first to go.
to answer Juju’s question- no, not weighted really- I put my wool fabric scraps into the doll when I stuff them, along with the polyfill. Not mixed together but a wad wrapped with a layer of poly stuffing so there is not a noticeable lump or anything. They add a definite weight. When I do something like this I make an effort to get them close to the bottom. Then I sort of smack the bottom a few times to flatten it out and then she stands just fine!
Love your blog – love the fembot (my daughter, too, overlooking my shoulder) – and I agree with your pricing scenario… I can’t keep track of what I do, so I go by a daily wage when pricing. Gallery fees are scary! How’d you make out at the Fiber Studio???? I love that place – it’s only 30 minutes from my house but I only make it out there once or twice a year.
Love her!
