Can’t forget about the beards

Posted on June 27, 2019 by mimik

This silver-haired fellow brings back the beards.

More Day of the Dead skeletons.

A close-up of the skeletons, his belt and button, and the great print on his pants.

Mustache and Fancy Hair, plus Tattoos!

This fellow has it all!

Fancy red boots too :)

And the back hair view-

Lots of skeletons having all the fun.

Farmer with a Mustache

Woohoo! Look at those radishes! All organic vegetables, I’m sure.

Big Circus Man

I’m continuing to work on pieces that were part-way finished before I left for Washington at the end of April. It makes me feel as though I am actually accomplishing something when I am being distracted by lots of other things like the garden and clothes-making. There are never enough hours in the day.

A very complicated scene on his chest (and arms and back).

Man in a Kilt

Blue eyes, blue kilt.

Dancing ladies and gentlemen.

A removable kilt- buttons and inside snap.

Ahem, what is he looking at?!

More dancing.

This is a very fun fabric with all the partying skeletons.

Green Man for January

Posted on January 13, 2019 by mimik

I’m needing a little green in the middle of January.

I got inspired to give him a head garland by this photo in Arcadia Britannica, a book of modern British folklore portraits.

He has a leaf bead and a variegated embroidered vine belt.

First doll of the year

Posted on January 7, 2019 by mimik

I am doing a big clean-up in my studio and also trying to get some pieces moving along. Where I get tired of one activity, I switch over to the other. So, both are going slowly. Studio cleaning and rearranging is a big chore but I always find forgotten treasures and that makes it SO worth it. Anyway, HeH! I got one finished!

He is a mustache man.

So many skeletons.

I love finding the perfect antique button.

And yes, Christmas is over. Both the tree and my man are out on the porch.

Big Man- Day of the Dead or Christmas?

This fellow got finished at the perfect time of year. This fabric is both Day of the Dead and Christmas. I should probably do some research to learn more. What I know for sure is that it is gorgeous.
