Headless Fred Finished!!

Well TaDa~! Here is my Headless Fred all finished.

The biggest compliment was from my hubby who raely says any thing but "Yeah Thats nice"

He really liked Fred! He even took pictures of him!

Headless Fred

This is my interpretation of Headless Fred !!

I created him from a E-Pattern by R&K Creations By Karen Nieforth

http://www.RK-Creations.com

Headless Fred is 25" and I really enjoyed making him.Whe I first saw the pattern it made me laugh,I knew I just had to make him!

I will take him out side for much better pictures of him and post them later!

Knowing now why I do what I do!!

I was finishing up a couple dolls today, Wondering why I was so determinded to make these 3 dolls (still working on the 3rd of the set) and get them finished, Why I asked my self,Their nothing really just 12 inch cloth dolls, all different yet the same.Why am I doing this? Thinking about them during the day, Excited to wake up in the mornings hurry to get what I need done all so I can run to my studio and start working on these simple cloth dolls and finding my self excited and happy!I had a gal contact me from youtube and while I was there I saw this video By Mimi Kirchner
http://mimikirchner.com/blog/
I have followed MiMi for years she is a awesome doll maker and artist, I saw and watched her video a couple times, In side I felt like a sun shine had sprung in my heart, I saw what I am doing through her eyes and found out it is ok! There is nothing wrong in creating any thing even if it is a simple cloth doll! Please watch her video you will be so inspired and refreshed! It's Ok!!!
