man in a kilt

One last post before SF.

I don’t usually talk about the bumps in the road but not many of the dolls go from start to finish with no missteps along the way. And, the last few weeks there were more than usual- I am ready for some time away from the studio. I knew this fellow was going to have a kilt but this is the second one I made because I made an un-fixable error on the first one- The kind that is not worth trying to fix. I’ve learned to tell the difference because many times, trying to fix something takes more time than starting over. But, he made it through the process and I’m happy with how he turned out.

I am getting stacks of tattooed men sewed up, so how do I choose which get finished first? Well, the last one (first of this batch) was left over from before, waiting so long to be done. He had to be first. And this fellow is cut from an amazing toile fabric- I couldn’t wait to see how it looked, all finished up!
