In case you are wondering, here is the definition of chinoiserie. This pattern seems to be about gardening and being in a garden.
I worked to give him some floppy hair.
A musical lady on his chest. A fancy button on his belt.

This time, No Skeletons
He is a big man with yellow pants and more classic toile.
Lots of animals, greenery, and a lady on the front,
and a man with a donkey on the back.
I like this new hair fabric I found! And that button came from a tin box that my neighbor gave me.
He is a few little pink spots that come from the dyeing process. Oh well, it’s a true sign of handmade, right?
Ahoy! It’s a Pirate!
And a white-haired pirate at that!
Not to mention, more skeleton tattoos. These have more of a Victorian look though.
A skull button.
Blond Man with Skeleton Tattoos
I love that swirly hair fabric! When I find a fabric that is so perfect, I try to buy it in all the possible hair colors.
That is a fancy antique glass button.
He is hanging out on the porch, catching some warm(er) breezes. The potted plants are beginning to creep out as the days and nights get warmer- ie not going below freezing. The smaller pot has mint in it, coming back to life after being ignored all winter.
Tattooed Men are coming!
Here is the first one in line. I’ve got a whole stack on my worktable and I’m working to bring them to life this week. (Not all of these will get finished although in my fantasy they do!)
He has a sweet curl in his hair-
Red Kilt and Cherubs
It can be a real challenge to come up with titles for these posts- hence, sometimes the odd ones! This handsome fellow has cherubs on his chest!
And a stag on his back.
Here is what his hair looks like in back-
Red-Haired Man in a Kilt
He also has a cashmere scarf because it’s winter.
His “tattoos” are a great classic toile design. Countryside idyll.
His kilt has some tiny antique 3-hole glass buttons.
And underneath…
A Fancy Man
I’m do the handwork/finishing on some tattooed men that are already sewn up so it is going to be a bit all over the place. The first fellow is fancy because of his colorful tattoos and blue-green boots!
So many skeletons! He has an antique button on his belt.
A Lumberjack in Red Plaid
I am all over the place with various fellows but like I said, I am picking up things that were already sewed and stuffed. There is one more guy after this, then on to something new.
Big Circus Man
This time the stripe pants/tights mean circus… maybe it is boots vs slippers that make it pirate vs circus in my head? (If you have no clue what I’m talking about, I’m referring back to this post.)
He has an impressive chest-
His “buckle” is an antique button. I’ve had that very special rick rack for ages and I love how it looks here. It is so nice to find the perfect use for all my treasures.
