Tweedy wool, soft, squishy… combined with tiki- that makes me laugh. So-
A perfect addition to any sofa. We had to play a bit-
details- I appliqued the wool in place and embroidered outlines. Shiny button eyes.
and with latest arrival to our house- this wonderful creation from Wawaya– all the way from Japan.
I made my tiki to fit a 6 inch x 14 inch pillow roll insert. Using an insert seemed like such a great idea, but I don’t love the way it fills the doll- I have much more control when I use stuffing. So, I guess I will just have to make a few more to get it perfectly right!
This is the kind of house I live in- I wanted to photograph the tiki. I’m thinking that I need a tropical drink with a paper umbrella (of course!). Hmmm, we had a birthday party once, tropical theme in February, kid was 9 or 10 (she’s 23 now), we must have some. Yup, I found them!
he’s wonderful!! so great to see him in vivid daylight color.
yeah…squishy soft tiki…that makes me laugh too :)
and i must admit i’m quite impressed you’ve managed to not only SAVE, but also recover a paper umbrella that you bought 13 years ago?!!
Mimi – you rock. This guy is awesome. Such a sense of humor and such beautiful detail to finish it off. And I live that same way. I keep a bit of everything and I know just where it all is.
Eeeek!! So cool, I love it. That would be the perfect pillow for a lot of the sofas around here.
Wonderful Tiki! Amazing textures and features.
love your Tiki, he is so great!! love that angry face he has!
love, love, love the tiki, miss mimi!
Brilliant! How you come up with these ideas- amazing!
This is such a fantastic creation. I love him with his tropical umbrella drink.
I think you have a winner here–how many tiki pillows do you think you can make to feed the masses?
Oh wow awesome! I love him!
I am always blown away by your creativity and skill! That Tiki is fabulous!
You are so talented with creativity!!! This is – again – fabulous! I’m so jealous you can do all this!
