Say Hello to "Tick"

WELL "TICK" HAS FINALLY MADE HER APPEARANCE...AFTER MANY DAYS OF TRIAL AND ERROR...MANY PATTERN CHANGES...HOURS OF SEWING...AND MUCH MOHAIR!!

THIS WAS BY FAR THE HARDEST PATTERN I HAVE EVER CREATED.I HAVE BEEN MAKING PATTERNS EVER SINCE I BEGAN SEWING IN 1978.

I STILL HAVE SOME MINOR CHANGES TO MAKE BUT I THINK I AM SATISFIED WITH THE CUTIE THAT WAS CREATED RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.


AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO KEEP HER...BUT NOW I AM NOT SO SURE.I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER DRESSED AND SEE HOW IT GOES WHEN I PUT HERIN MY .

"TICK" IS 9 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHTED WITH NON-RUSTING METAL SHOT AND EXCELSIOR FOR THAT VINTAGE FEEL...SHE HAS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF VINTAGE CRUNCH!!

I HAVE CREATED HER EYES TO LOOK JUST LIKE VINTAGE SHOE BUTTON EYES...

HER EARS ARE LINED WITH VINTAGE TICKING...HENCE THE NAME "TICK".

HER FUR HAS BEEN DISTRESSED AND FIXED IN PLACE.IT HAS A NICE TEXTURE TO IT, LIKE AN OLD STUFFED ANIMAL.

PLEASE STOP BY OFTEN TO SEE UPDATES...
