This fine fellow was a special request gift for another very fine fellow! I had a blast making him a little bit extra special. Here he is without his cap-
He has an eagle on his chest and George Washington on his arm. He has an antique reindeer button for his belt buckle- perfect for a lumberjack! I’d been saving it and waiting for the right man.
He has an axe and I also made him a backpack so I could put some surprises in it.
Happy Travels!
I am getting to the last dolls of the year here. Some I am waiting to post until after Christmas since I don’t want to ruin any surprises. This fellow will be going into my etsy shop right after I post this.
This toile is wonderful- I love the sailing port imagery. He has wool felt suspenders with embroidered decoration. And an axe of course.
This was made for a special customer who has bought a whole family of dolls over this year!
I took 2 outside pics that I really liked so they are both here.
I will be putting these into my etsy shop today.
Quieter colors on this one, on a cashmere background of (reminds me of my mother) beige.
And 4 babies together. I have more but the weather is so terrible I might not be able to photograph them until the weekend.
This kind of applique is where my lousy dyeing skills are actually an asset. I love how the uneven color makes the pieces so much more interesting.
I haven’t made these in a long time- the last ones were January 2013! It is great to be back.
These cute couple is going to be in a show-
They will be part of a show called Don’t Play With Me. The gallery is in Pawtucket, RI at Machine With Magnets. There is an opening on Sunday, Dec. 7, 4 – 7 with lots of cool things happening. If you can’t make the opening, the show is up until early January. If Facebook is more your thing, there is a page with all the info about the show here.
The other thing I wanted to tell you about- My friends at Sweet Paul magazine gave me a link to share for a free digital subscription. Go ahead, check it out! It’s FREE!
I am working as much as I can to finish pieces that I promised and also have new things in the shop. There is never enough time before Christmas!
