Big Blond Man

After I finished the pirates, I’ve been working with dolls that were already in progress. Some of which I sewed up before the move, so 2 years now. It is great to be able to jump in to a project with some of the design decisions already made.

This really is the most amazing fabric! And look; I found a unicorn button in my collection!

One Big Man for now

I’d started this fellow before my show and finally got him done on the weekend. Then I forgot to take his photos. Yes, it has been a bit chaotic around here.

I love these classical tattoos. They always look good.

We have some twins here!

A BIG Merman

I had a bit of excitement here- on Saturday afternoon, after I did my last blog post, my aged (2015 MacBook) and beloved computer bit the dust in a rather exciting fashion involving a pixelated screen, a scritching noise that was getting louder, the computer getting very hot, very quickly. I pulled out the charging cable, turned off the computer, but that was the end of that. So sad, I really liked that machine! Anyway, I was off to buy a new computer first thing yesterday. Thank goodness I was mostly all backed up! And now, here I am, typing on my new friend.

This fellow is larger than my typical merman- I was playing with the pattern and not thinking about how changing his tail would affect the size. Anyway, I think he will look amazing in my booth this weekend.

I found these perfect buttons online: I had to buy some.

This time, No Skeletons

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?

big Red-haired man

I’ve got a few more fellows on my work table. I am finishing ones that I’d (mostly) stuffed and then put back into the bin. It is always easier to get to work on something that already has a good start.

I think he has kind of a pensive face.

This is such an amazing toile. It was a good sized sample that I found in a vintage store. I am so sorry that I have now used it all up.
