He is the last man for now. Time to clean up my mess and start a new mess! Look at his awesome hair- it is purple!

And he has a curl-


I need to have a million buttons so I can find the perfect one.

Just one more man after this (not a sailor) and I’m ready to move on to something else!


This has turned out to be the month of tattooed men. There are 2 more after this and then? We shall see!





Thank you to everyone who asked to be on my mailing list- I really appreciate it!
Another redhead and this one with skeletons.


I squared off his beard so as not to cover up the tattoo images.





I have a few sailors that have been waiting a long long time to get finished so finally, Say hello to this big fellow! Here he is with his hat on-



French knot buttons on his pants.



A red-haired man with swirly hair. Isn’t this gorgeous?!

Here is the front- much more important.

It took me many days to get these photos- we’ve been having crazy wet weather around here, including snow last Friday. That’s Spring in New England.

A big man with a top knot.



There he is- George Washington with all kinds of other (I am sure) symbolic imagery that I have no idea how to interpret. And I found this awesome button in my collection. Perfect.




I thought the lady was in a balloon but it is actually more like a parachute- some of these toiles don’t really make sense. Anyway, I am sure it is a great adventure. Here is a better pic.



Here is the back of the hair-




In case you are wondering, here is the definition of chinoiserie. This pattern seems to be about gardening and being in a garden.

I worked to give him some floppy hair.


A musical lady on his chest. A fancy button on his belt.



He is a big man with yellow pants and more classic toile.

Lots of animals, greenery, and a lady on the front,

and a man with a donkey on the back.

I like this new hair fabric I found! And that button came from a tin box that my neighbor gave me.


He is a few little pink spots that come from the dyeing process. Oh well, it’s a true sign of handmade, right?
