In this close-up you can see the monkey cage. The toile shows a Victorian looking zoo. Below is a bear in a tree.

Big Man- fancy
He’s got sparkly ric rak on his belt. I happen to have quite a bit of fancy trims, dating back to making costumes when my kids were little.
The back view of people on the back of his legs makes me laugh.
Sepia Man
He isn’t really all browns but I worked off that idea.
Another amazing toile with loads of fun imagery including more castles. The challenge is to decide what to highlight.
I chose this natural color antique button instead of metal. And used dark browns where I might usually use black.
Red hair, striped pants
I just love this George Washington toile!
It has cherubs! And all kinds of other fun imagery.
Star Man
I named him that because his pants have tiny stars on them.
And here they are, all together. Star Man is off to UK today- Happy travels!
Man with blue pants
The photo colors aren’t exactly right- the pants are slightly greener into the turquoise range. The belt is dark red with a golden yellow rick rack.
Pirate
I’m back to work on the fellows. Hopefully there will be lots in the next few weeks.
Can you see the over-dyed fabric of his hair and beard? I’m always on the look-out for good hair prints.
cute blond guy
yeah, don’t ya think?!
I decided he really didn’t want a mustache.
and the other guy
pirate #2
more of the skeleton fabric but this time in black.
He has long sideburns.
2 pirate pals.
This is the what my son is doing in England- so amazing!
