whoa!
If you believe that I have control over how these faces turn out, you’d be wrong. I use a water-erasable marker to mark out where the features go and draw in a rough sketch. If I had any real control, all the faces would be the same. But, as you might notice, they don’t because I don’t. I start stitching and whoever it turns out that they are, appears!
And I think this one is particularly appealing!
I spent some time in the garden over the weekend. I worked on the compost pile- which is great news because it means my back is MUCH better- Hurray! My favorite gardening toy is my compost thermometer (I’ve probably mentioned that before) and you can see here that my pile was close to 130 degrees F this morning. That’s my idea of excitement!
Oh my! He’s so handsome my heart is aflutter! ;)
He looks Clark Gable-ish to me. Debonair with flair.
I’d love to start a compost pile, but color me skeeered. I know, I should just get over it and do it. Is it difficult?
So I found you thru Needlework news when your tattooed ladies were featured there. My 26 y/o daughter thought they were the bomb. The “ginger” you posted yesterday was the most yummy “man” I had seen,until this gent today. Oh if only they were real and life-sized! LOL I became a follower of your blog after the ladies. The dogs are the CUTEST.THINGS.EVER. But these men….oohlala!!!
A Jim Dandy
Devishly handsome!
He is very handsome, Mimi! A certain mystery about him…. I am pleased to see your dolls always.
Hey how about a cod piece for the guys so they are REAL MEN !
I think it’s the hair hanging down on one side. I bet he walks with a swagger! Charmin’ the ladies.
I love the dolls ! The one thing that always bugs me is that the crotch often looks like the butt. Just saying…other than that just perfect.
I know these are not anatomical but so many of the other details are so well executed …just an observation from the peanut gallery !
Love all the details
