This one was an experiment- I over-dyed a multi-color printed fabric and it’s not toile. But, I love how he came out- Hurray for trying new things!
Here you can see the characters on his arms-
Happy long weekend, to everyone who gets one. I will be working of course because that is what self-employed people do, right?!
This one had to be made right away because I needed to see how he’d look in a kilt!
Pretty fantastic, I’d say.
I am getting stacks of tattooed men sewed up, so how do I choose which get finished first? Well, the last one (first of this batch) was left over from before, waiting so long to be done. He had to be first. And this fellow is cut from an amazing toile fabric- I couldn’t wait to see how it looked, all finished up!
He has a swirly print fabric beard.
He is made of a reclaimed wool sweater and knits always make for a rounder (chubbier) doll.
Here he is standing amongst the alium foliage. In just a few more weeks, all the foliage will be gone and this will be a sea of purple lollipops!
I had to make 2 jackets to get one to fit- the first one was just a bit too tight and he looked so uncomfortable!
This fellow was a special request, based on a child’s drawing. I’ve never done that before but the vision in the drawing was right up my alley!
Yes, he has binoculars. And a green striped sweater vest and a dark red bow tie.
Oh, and look- my fritillaria are blooming!
I’m going to San Francisco for the Renegade Craft Market in July! Now it’s time to plan my trip, buy the plane tickets, all that other stuff.
Last year I taught a class on the Friday before and that was really fun. Is anyone interested in that again? Leave a comment or send me an email if you have thoughts- mimik@pobox.com
When I am finishing up one of my characters, I think about who they are. For some reason this one seemed like a reporter. Here he is, checking out the Spring flower report. Violets in bloom!
He has a snazzy vest too!
I love soft baby corduroy and it looks so perfect on a fox.
This fox fellow is rather understated on the outside, but under that green jacket? Snazzy!
He has 2 notebooks and a pencil in his bag.
Woohoo! Some very bright fish!
I’ll be doing a shop update this weekend.
