I have one more fellow that is stuffed and waiting to find out who he is. Hopefully I will get him finished before I get distracted by the pile of lumberjacks also waiting. This is the busy, busy time of year.

Close-up of the skeletons. And the antique button/belt buckle.

I will hopefully start listing these into my etsy shop, tomorrow afternoon. If you are interested in anyone though, I am always happy to do a direct invoice or a listing with a reserve. All available pieces are listed.

There is going to be a bunch of Day of the Dead toiles in this group of tattooed men. It has to do with my dyeing and sewing up schedule. Here is the 2nd one, all those fancy, dressed-up skeletons.

And more on his back-

I love how his expression turned out.

The weather has been gloomy for the last few days but I managed to get some photos taken this morning.

I like this black and white fabric on his pants- it has a look of a pen and ink drawing. I often think of my work as 3-d drawings or illustrations.

Here is a close-up of the top of his head-

His arm tattoos-

This is the last of this batch of men. They all went up on etsy on Wednesday.

And here is the whole gang-

How fancy is this fine fellow with his gold rick rack belt?! He most definitely has a circus look about him.

Lots of great images on this toile- lady, baby, dog, and some architecture on his back.

He has a girl on one arm and a rooster on the other.

More of the very large rick rack on his belt.

And red shoe laces.

And a lady with an owl on his chest.

My friend Jen gave me a box of vintage and antique rick rack that included this very large zigzag! Perfect for my big man.
