Greenman for Summer

Posted on July 27, 2021 by mimik

Greenman with an embroidered leafy beard. He is the perfect symbol for the extremely wet July we’ve had here in the Boston area.

Bird and vine tattoos.

This fellow needs to spend a little more time out in the sun!

Awesome beard action and dark green eyes.

Who wouldn’t love a giant vegetable tattoo!

I like these wood buttons.

He is #5 and the last bathing beauty for now.

He has the classic toile tattoos.

Here is a close-up of his hair-

I took 2 pic of him around the house and I liked both of them so here they are!

Outside and inside :-)

And #4 Man

Yeah, he looks a bit different!

He has fancy dressed up, old-fashioned skeletons to go with his old-fashioned bathing suit.

Pretend buttons and real buttons.

Third fellow and he has skeletons too

I imagine these fellows using wax on their forelock curls and their mustaches.

Pretend buttons and an antique shell button.

This is the fellow that has inspired this group. He was a special request and a LONG time coming. If you ask me for something it might be a VERY long time (years!) before I get to it!

His skeleton tattoos are colorful and they all look like they are having great fun. His skeleton button from this amazing etsy shop.

I haven’t made one of these fellows in a long, long time but I got a request so let’s go!

He’s got some classic tattoos and an old-fashioned striped bathing suit.

A mustache and a curl in his hair.

Here is a close-up of the pattern on his hair-

I am very excited about this hair! I am sure I will be playing with this kind of thing some more. This fellow- all around awesome! Let’s start with his hair. Front-

And his gorgeous tattoos-

A sea glass button and a crocheted belt of variegated threads.

Merman with Classic Tattoos

Last week I went to my favorite fabric store (Gather Here) for the first time since March 2020. It was such a treat to look and touch the fabric again! I found this excellent wave fabric and had to come right home and use some. Perfect!
