Show & tell time! This was a custom piece of an old Victorian-style Dog Catcher. And yes, he's made of toothpicks.
Confession #2. I really had fun with this guy. Maybe I just like attitude, but it seems that the dolls that give me the most problems end up being my favorite. When they're finished, that is.
OK, time to play spot the details! This dapper Dog Catcher has a newsboy-style hat - someday I'll have to do a tutorial on that. There's a whole inner structure that goes into hats.
He's got contrasting lapels on his jacket, & orange buckles. His sleeve has a tiny insignia.
See his tiny bowtie? Ok, look harder - it's there!
My favorite - his net. It's entirely hand-knotted. Such fun! Such torture.

GOOOOOODDD LORD! How can you work in such small detail. I think you are I are opposites. Actually I brought my little nutcracker win into work and taped him to my computer so I can look at him everyday. He sits right next to my "don't forget the details" sign. A little reminder for me to do more than look at the big picture.
Love the new piece... amazing.
Smooches,

I LOVE him!! I can't believe how much detail you can get into such a tiny piece, but it's the details that make all the difference! Your work is amazing!
I too have the same confession...I hated making male dolls at first, but now that i have forced myself to do more of them, it has gotten a bit easier! Never stop challenging yoursel;f! :)
Your dolls are amazing, such tiny detail. I thought my clothes pin dolls were tiny. I can't wait to see more.
