I’ve got a big pile (more than 12) and some are very close to being finished so it’s time!
He has a cashmere hat and a felt axe across his back.
The shoe laces in case you are interested.
He was all done except for the hat and the axe. Of course I needed to decide if he was carrying an axe or maybe something else. And the hat- so many kinds of hats. This is what keeps me from finishing things.
Sometimes I will say yes to a special order or commission. When someone asks me to do something that makes it obvious that they understand and appreciate my work I am more likely to say yes. A tattooed lumberjack- Yes! A Christmas stocking with traditional tattoo images? Uh, no. (yes, that is an actual example that recently came through my inbox)
I love this guy!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving if you are in the part of the world that celebrates. I think I made my best apple pie ever!
revisiting an old friend (design).
Hope everyone had a great weekend! It was gorgeous here in Boston.
or maybe- Woodsman. Like the kind that would have rescued Little Red Riding Hood. Or be a friend to a Forest girl.
Now back to the cotton fabrics.
Brothers maybe?
I love his scraggly hair. I used felted alpaca sweater edging, just like in this owl. I had to dye this piece though, to get it a man hair color.
Oh, What a handsome fellow!
All my favorite stops on my internet rounds are showing signs/hopes/projects of Spring. I am still stuck on something that I’ve been thinking about since last October. Finally-
Last Halloween, a lumberjack seemed to be the favorite last-minute costume. The whole lumberjack idea got stuck in my head. I cut out and sewed up a pile of Tattooed men last week (they are in the waiting to be stuffed stage) and decided I was not going to put the pattern away until I’d turned those ideas into something solid.
