Two Green Fish

Happy Halloween! More fish, green ones this time.

The top green fish has a knitted head and tail, cashmere body and fins. The top fin is alpaca.

The bottom fish is all knit wool sweaters. That usually works out fine because knits stretch similarly, but as you can see on this fine fish, they are shaped a little oddly :-)

That is because the fair isle section of the sweater felted up more tightly than any other parts, ie no stretch. When I stuffed this fish, it was like they had a belt on!

And 2 More Blue Fish

They lean a little toward aqua. Especially the top one.

This one has a fancy double top fin.

I am getting ready for the next show, November 19- 21 in Marlboro, MA. Because of that, I won’t be adding anything new to my Etsy Shop but If you see something you like, email me- mimik@pobox.com.

Last lady for now

Here is the last lady.

I have been very happy with this group of ladies. When I look at them, I can imagine an entire life.

She has an antique button on her belt.

Lady in the Garden.

Tattooed Lady- White Hair and Tutu

Blue eyes and white hair. And more skeletons.

Big Haired Lady

It is a challenge to think of names for all the ladies! Tattooed lady #4 sounds pretty boring.

I gave her big fancy hair,

and a pretty flat chest because we love all kinds of bodies, right?!

I like this toile. It is the perfect scale for these ladies.

Back to work and new tattooed Ladies

Posted on October 19, 2021 by mimik

It’s been a week since I got back from Northampton and I am working on dolls but also doing things that I’d postponed until after the show. And Fall chores, mostly garden related. So, my time in the studio is less than usual but I will be back to full steam soon.

Here is the first piece I’ve finished-
