Finished up my Krampus cloth doll! He turned out a little differently than I'd planned, but that's the way the project took me. I can see I'm going to have to do several more practice dolls before I can really get them looking a touch more realistic; in the meantime, ones like this are cuddly, cute, a bit odd and quirky. I may have used some patterns to start with (bits from three different doll patterns, actually), but by the time all was done, I can definitely say Krampus is an One Of A Kind piece of doll art. Now, I need to clean up between projects and consider what i want to work on next. Maybe go back and do some embriodery on Paisley before starting another new doll.
Krampus: Yule Boy. approximately 27". Cotton, suede cloth, faux fur. Chest harness made from fur and faux leather trim with added brass bells. Tounge is a ribbon scrap. Accessorized with a twig bundle of switches. Features drawn with Prismacolour watercolor pencils, and lightly sculpted. Has tie joints at hips and knees to be able to pose sitting. Pecs and abs were appliqued and lightly stuffed. Some sculpting to body on horns, muscles on arms, toes and cloven hoof, belly button, with added boy parts (which nestle between his furry thighs and thus isn't too blatant. (Well, his only coastume is the chest harness; he's not wearing pants, so his penis would show and he didn't seem right without one. Blank crotches are for Ken & Barbie.)
Christmas eve. Going up to Hannah's later this afternoon. She called yesterday and asked me to bring dessert for holiday dinner (Millie is cooking the rest). Hope they aren't too dissappointed that I'm not baking (don't have time) and will just pick up something from the bakery at Publix. Got presents in the mail from some of B's relatives. I think its nice that I'm included. Got a fashionable suede leather purse; can't quite decide if it's really my kind of thing or not. Lol. B got an izod sweater--which is most defintealy not him. Stil, the thought and inculsion is appreciated.
