He is the last pirate for a while. I had fun making these fellows!
His braided beard was inspired by someone in our building :-)
This octopus fabric has been a favorite of mine.
He is wearing tails- the back flap is split up the middle.
No beard and no mustache either!
He looks pretty grumpy.
He has an awesome pirate-y button on his belt.
I like the hat but his hair is pretty good too :-)
Stormy blue eyes. Another antique button.
I will tell you- it has been a challenge, figuring out how to put this fellow together. He is a very fancy pirate.
An antique button on his belt.
His hair in detail-
I’ve gotten very attached to these twisty beards.
Lots of skeletons having all kinds of fun-
Also, a popping red sash instead of a belt.
And a white-haired pirate at that!
Not to mention, more skeleton tattoos. These have more of a Victorian look though.
A skull button.
Eye patch, striped pants with high boots, skeleton tattoos and an awesome belt buckle button. This fabulous lion button come from my mom’s collection/stash so it probably dates from the 70s or 80s.
I’m back to work on the tattooed men, my perennial best seller. My studio is covered with fabric pieces (body parts) and tattooed people (men and women) in every stage of construction! They will all be trickling out over the next many months.
I think he has a pirate-y look. It’s the striped pants.
I finished him yesterday. I put him up on my desk just to look at him for a bit. Today I added an earring because he needed it, don’t you think?
Dogs on his belly and a shiny eagle button.
