Remember this fine fellow? I wanted to try a slimmer version. Well actually maybe 5 or so was how many I cut out and sewed up before I was all done. I’ll get to them all eventually.
The thing is, I had a pile of dyed toile scraps that were not enough for a tattooed man or woman but just right for the smaller amount this design needs. And I’d saved them because I liked them enough that I couldn’t just throw them away. Perfect!
I had fun with this beard too. It is made of an alpaca sweater bit- they get shaggy-edged when I wash them.
Cashmere hat, felt axe, Pendleton wool shirt, high lace-up boots, suspenders.
The toile I used had scenes from Robinson Crusoe on it- he has a very odd furry man on his chest. The rest of that fabric got used on this guy.
They just keep getting better & better! This guy is even cooler than the last one! :)
He’s fantastic! Great skills, I love his beard :)
I saw your work some time ago and just recently found you again. That old www is a morass I tell you! Anyhow, I love how neat and tidy these lumberjacks are. They look like they are cleaned up and ready to go into town for some fun.
I loved this lumberjack! He is so handsome and finely detailed. I have been following your creative experiments since years and I have great respect for all your artwork:)
This one is my favorite! I love his beard, it almost looks real and his blue hat! Love him!
