Good in design but oi!

This guy will, more than likely die an early death but he was a huge learning experience and his fraternal twin brother will reap the benefits.

Corduory is NOT a good doll making material. Those legs you see are his 5th set. The first 4th were total fails. His hair and head got mangled and I didn't have enough fabric to make more. His collar clearly needs a better fit.



I did get a lot of good construction and architectural ideas and the black fabric is very excellent and I know where to get more of it. So not a total fail at all.

Good enough for a donation, though! I like him!

Nah, he's staying here (or getting recycled) - there are too many weak spots to give him away. I do need to find some more suit material for his brother, though. I still love the idea.

Well if he's a practice model, he is still pretty darn cool. :)

Thank you!

Put some catnip inside and make him a kitty toy! Ha.

While I was struggling to get him together, Zoey got one of the failed legs that actually had stuffing in it and started batting it all over the house. I never found it.

Oh that's funny!

Give it to your neighbour for their dogs. :-) Then is will surely die an early death.

The dolls look like fun... you might be interested to know that there's a Canadian Peacekeeper site that organizes for special little dolls to be made and sent out with peacekeepers and health personnel into war-torn areas.

I made some of those years ago. Cute little dolls.
