I wanted to make him be a more classical Circus man with his striped tights and red shoes.
Day of the dead skeletons-
and a very fancy antique button-

Sepia Farmer
Carrots, corn, beets, radishes, peas, onions, all the goodness!
He is mostly made of tans and browns. Well, except he has green eyes.
And yellow xxx’s on his black belt.
Big Man with Skeleton Horseman
Oops, I forgot to post this fellow that I finished up before I went to Providence! I’ve been distracted with the post show clean-up, getting everything listed into my etsy shop, and getting started on new things. Poor guy.
I love this skeleton fabric!
I was planning on focusing on some new animals once I was back from the Providence show- cats, foxes, dogs, but somehow got distracted and I’ve been putting together and sewing up a big pile of men. To explain that further, I had the body parts dyed, cut out, and had most of the head-to-body and hand-to-arm sewing done. I needed to decide and cut out the trousers/tights/pants and shoes/boots, styles and colors. Then sew them up. There are so many steps. Here is my pile so far. These fellows will get finished up over the next year or so.
Fitting in a Tattooed Man for Providence
Tomorrow I head down to Providence for the show. I’ve been trying to get a few more things finished up. It is very busy around here! I still have some free tickets available. Contact me (mimik@pobox.com) if you are interested.
Angel Trumpeting on his chest
A very very serious fellow.
He’s got an angel and George Washington! Also a fancy glass button.
I gave him a widow’s peak.
Urns on his arms.
That’s all the men for now. I’ve got a pile of parts to sew up before I can finish anymore. On to other things for a bit.
Man with Goddess tattoos
He’s got a little curl in his hair-
Goddesses, cherubs, birds and so much more!
An antique shell button and lots of tiny starts on his pants-
Here is the other goddess-
Can’t forget about the beards
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).
