A strong man who looks a bit like Rasputin. Well, except burlier.
Fancy pants with embroidered belt and vintage button-
It is making each one unique that keeps me interested. I was having fun doing his wild hair. It is shaped with darts.

and chandelier. I love that chandelier.
He is totally bald. I am loving the applied ears. They are fiddly but I really like how they look.
Vintage button, embroidered belt-
Shoe laces-
and his back with cherubs.
And then we got silly. Exercise time! And a one-
And a two-
And a three!

I always put photos of the dolls on Flickr. Often not the exact same photos as I put on the blog. If you go to Flickr, you can click on “all sizes” and see them REALLY BIG and see all the details if you are interested. Here is the face.
This is how I get orders to the post office when I have more then I can fit under my 2 arms.

Crazy busy around here. Just a few more days before I leave for Chicago.
grey-haired, mostly bald dude
but let me butt in here to mention that today is my wedding anniversary- 30 YEARS! Woohoo!
And now back to regularly scheduled programming.
I had fun playing with my variegated grey floss to do the hair. More applied ears on this one-
He has the Statue of Liberty and the White House on his toile/tattoos.
And, the poppies are blooming!

I think I’m in love…
look- ears.
wrist bands and boots-

I had some fun taking photos in various places. Ben’s chair-
His gladiator sandals. They ended up being the most work on this fellow- sewing all the little straps on. They are worth it though- just what I had in mind. I see the photo has a bit of white stuffing on the black fabric- too late to fix that photo!
busy times
That week flew by. And now a new one begins. Happy Mothers Day!
My tree peony bloomed- always a treat.
We’ve had some crazy weather in the few days since I took the photos- wild thunderstorm, torrential rain and now some very windy weather. The plant is looking a bit tussled today. The flowers rarely last more then a week so I appreciate them while I can.
On Friday night I went to the MassArt Senior Fashion Show: Current 2010. I was offered complimentary tickets (not sure how I got on that list!)- it is not something I would ordinarily think of going to. Well, it was so much fun! I have never been to anything like it- there was the runway, the models, the collections. I tried to find photos but there wasn’t much. I did find this one of my favorite dress of the evening. I hope I can go next year- it was a blast!
Saturday, doll club. We did needle felting. I will not be changing over to needle felting any time soon. Sorry about no pics- the photos I took were too awful to post.
And today. Working on- gladiator sandals.
Maybe too much fiddly work. Piled on the table are men in progress, paper pattern pieces, fabric marking tools, trims…
And the desk, looking cleaner then usual.
This coming week will focus on finishing those guys and then I’m off to Minneapolis on Thursday for J’s graduation. Life seems to have suddenly shifted to high speed.
