I love that swirly hair fabric! When I find a fabric that is so perfect, I try to buy it in all the possible hair colors.
That is a fancy antique glass button.
He is hanging out on the porch, catching some warm(er) breezes. The potted plants are beginning to creep out as the days and nights get warmer- ie not going below freezing. The smaller pot has mint in it, coming back to life after being ignored all winter.
Here is the first one in line. I’ve got a whole stack on my worktable and I’m working to bring them to life this week. (Not all of these will get finished although in my fantasy they do!)
He has a sweet curl in his hair-
Another lady with her Day of the Dead skeleton tattoos and flowers in her hair.
I like how the bra fabric is cross-hatched and it matches the drawing on the tattoos.
She has a skull button too.
She has silk ribbon “flowers” in her hair, skeleton tattoos, and a skull button on her belt.
I got my first Covid vaccine today and I am so happy! What a relief.
Oops, I forgot to post this fellow that I finished up before I went to Providence! I’ve been distracted with the post show clean-up, getting everything listed into my etsy shop, and getting started on new things. Poor guy.
I love this skeleton fabric!
I was planning on focusing on some new animals once I was back from the Providence show- cats, foxes, dogs, but somehow got distracted and I’ve been putting together and sewing up a big pile of men. To explain that further, I had the body parts dyed, cut out, and had most of the head-to-body and hand-to-arm sewing done. I needed to decide and cut out the trousers/tights/pants and shoes/boots, styles and colors. Then sew them up. There are so many steps. Here is my pile so far. These fellows will get finished up over the next year or so.
Tomorrow I head down to Providence for the show. I’ve been trying to get a few more things finished up. It is very busy around here! I still have some free tickets available. Contact me (mimik@pobox.com) if you are interested.
I finished this fellow on Wednesday night before the show, took his photos on Thursday morning, we took the subway down to the show together, and he found a new home on Friday morning!
CraftBoston was excellent- my best show ever! I will post some booth pics in a few days. I still have a lot of things available and I am working hard today to get them into my etsy shop. If I ship by Wednesday, package should certainly arrive (in US) by Christmas.
