one robot is finished

I started out on one robot to confirm that my new hip and leg design would work. I got into doing the finish work and did what I always do when I only have one doll to work on- I completely overdid it! Step away from the robot… cut out 3 more, sew and stuff them. Once I have 4 going, I can think and see more clearly. Then it is always a surprise to see which one get done first.

I am slightly reluctant to post him because he is part of a pair (in my head anyway)- but, what the heck! Introducing, the robot version of Mr. Handsome

It is always a challenge to get a sense of scale. I took a number of photos on objects that hopefully will give an idea of how big he is- almost 28″ tall with his long spidery legs.

His hip joints work beautifully and he is lots of fun to pose.

I will tell more of his story when I get the other robot done- it is all about the plaid.

  1. Love the robots, new one is no exception.
    His expression is so delightfully stern!
    It might be the dark red and grey torso but since the moment I saw him, I can’t get the “Lumberjack” song from Python out of my head. HA!

  2. I think he’s wearing the same plaid shirt that Ben is wearing in that photo booth picture! :)

  3. Mimi, this guy is terrific! Can’t wait to see the whole Gang of Four together.

  4. I love the attitude that shows on his face. I do enjoy looking at all the different poses and settings.

  5. What did you use to make his ears? Are they brass beads? What did you use for the hands? Are they wood beads before the hooks? This guy means business, in a very Celtic way :-)

  6. Mimi,
    I left comments on this guy over on flickr—-so I’ll leave my gushing there ; ). If you ever do an online class—-I am SO IN!!!! Please think about it…….hard ; )

  7. He reminds me of the Tin Man of Oz, only with plaid. His face is very determined!

  8. He is so fun! I love how he just sits there proudly – on the steps or stool, like “yeah, I’m here.” He has such personality! Great job!

  9. He reminds me of Steven Q. Urkel of Family Matters. Remember he made a robot of himself? He always wore a plaid shirt and way too tight & short jeans.
