A man in a kilt with an awesome sailing ship tattoo. Love!
Brown eyes, dark hair, cashmere scarf.
Sailor 3
He has got a battle going on on his chest! This fellow is made from some vintage over-dyed linen draperies. His back is amazing too-
Sailor 2
Big Man Sailor-
This pic makes me laugh- I wonder how that tattoo continues under his trousers…
Sailor 1
This is the first of 3 sailors that are in the works.
Boats and more boats-
a silver fox
Grey hair and a kitty on his chest.
Yes, that is a cow on his arm.
Happy 4th of July (US peeps)!
mr. popular
I could spend all of my time making tattooed men because they are my most popular item but I’d burn out fast if I didn’t mix it up. But back to the men. I’ve got a pile that I’m working towards finishing. First up-
Here is a detail of his hair-
Horses on his chest and arms!
Sometimes when I am taking photos, I can’t get a single good result. Other times, I have more than one that seem too good not to show you!
I look at the last time I posted here on the blog and realize it has been a few weeks. I never have the urge to post unless I am finishing up dolls. I’ve been busy with other things though- a baby blanket gift, a trip to Chicago and sewing there with my daughter, new placemats for me, clothes making- a tunic and a shirt that I cut out and started but has since gone into limbo. I am more likely to be posting these projects on Instagram. It is so easy and in-the-moment. Happy 4th to everyone in the US!
Kitty girl with fish
An orange and black herringbone kitty with a dress with both fish and sailing ships. Kitty love their fish!
She has a fish charm/bead in her pocket- lunch maybe?
Cat Boy 1
I remember when I was a kid, a flowing scarf like that indicated a Hollywood mogul or a flying ace pilot. This kitty is more on the Hollywood side, I think. Below you can see his fancy vest/waistcoat. The jacket, the vest, and the messenger bag, all have antique buttons. Button <3
schoolgirl fox
This is the last of my pre-show dolls and I am posting her last because she was the one who found a new home last Saturday.
She is a fox girl with a fox covered dress!
Now, I am working on finishing up 2 pieces (2 kitties) that I didn’t finish before the show. And also trying to deal with the chaos in my studio and maybe even get some fun and or home sewing done. I am happy to be back in the studio and not spending full days on the computer!
Cranky fox boy 2
Yes, definitely a cranky face.
He has a fine baby wale corduroy jacket and a yellow cashmere scarf. He is sporting some Liberty of London fabrics, both in his classic vest and also his pocket square which is a scrap of fabric from and old shirt of my Dads’ (probably form the 60’s or earlier).
