This is the last one for now.

This one turned out about an inch taller than the rest. That kind of thing happens because I use all kinds of fabrics and some, even a woven wool, will have more stretch than I expected! You can see in this photo-

One more to go after this fellow!

He is pretty classic with his red and black shirt.

In this photo, you can see the faux-persian lamb texture of his hair. This wool fabric was from my mom’s fabric collection. I remember that it was from a coat she made- I disassembled it to save the usable parts. She used the fabric as a very subtle and classy extra zing on the pockets and collar of a black cashmere coat. I use it for lumberjack hair. In the way of how my mom bought fabric, I also have a white piece of the same fabric that she never cut into. I haven’t found anything to use it for yet either but I’m sure I will someday.

Friends!

It’s pumpkin time! The porch is getting it’s fall look and this lumberjack fits right in.

His hair is made of knit alpaca, sent through the washing machine. The alpaca makes those amazing shaggy bits, all along the edges- suitable for scruffy beards and snowy owls.

Yes sirree, all the plaids! Plus fancy suspenders. And dark orange hair.

Close-up of those suspenders-

He has very nice hair but I made him a hat anyway. Also, I love the beard fabric- the pattern is sort of pressed into the wool.
