He's finished! Lori's Head.....

I finished him up last night. I will put those little acessories on him later cause now I am on a quest to find the perfect additions. I just love this guy to pieces mostly because of his face and how friendly he looks. Thanks Lori for sending me such a great piece to work with.

Paula and Lori...he's wonderful!!! What fun!!!! You two make a great team! Thanks for posting the picture, Paula. I was wondering how he was coming along! Big hugs and congratulations! Diane

Darn it! It's not letting me see the pictures. grrrr! I guess I'll have to come back later to see them. hehe

Paula, I'm so glad that you liked him! I can not tell you how happy that makes me. I haven't had a chance to work on the head you sent me. I've been so bogged down with stuff trying to catch up with it all. I have the perfect idea for him though, I knew what he was gonna be as soon as I pulled him out of the box. I only hope I can pull it off like I seem to think I can. He's just too cute.

Anyway, I'll be back in a while to try to take a peek at him.

Hugs,
Lori

Now that I can see the pictures! hehe. Paula, he is great! He is a very happy fella indeed! I can't wait to see him with the props you find for him. You have done an excellent job on his costuming. But, of course, I had no doubt as you are the master seamstress! I'm very happy you liked him so much. :-)

Lots of hugs to you,
Lori

Thanks for all the kind words. My daughter once again tried to walk out of the house with him. I caught her at the door telling her this boy is mine! She said I had to try lol. I am going to build him a stand. And I have the perfect place for him to sit during the holidays. This guy is really special to me because I made a great friend too from the swap.

Going to get back on Darels swap head now. I am having so much fun with this stuff. I feel the Christmas spirit coming on! Lub ya'll! Paula

Awe, shucks, Paula, that has got to be the sweetest thing I have ever heard anyone say to me. It's not often that I'm left speechless.....this is one of those moments.

Lots and lots of hugs to you, Paula!

Hi Paula,

He is wonderfull.
An friendly and beatiful face.

What have you used for the beard?

It's either Cottswold or Border Leichester wool Troli. I got this huge bag of raw wool a few years ago and I am still using it! Makes really pretty beards.

Hi Paula!
Gosh, where do you get a bag of raw wool and is it hard to clean? I just spent a small fortune on bearding that was already cleaned.
Thanks, and again....great job!
Hugs...Diane

Thanks, the beard is super nice.

Diane, I think I got it off of Ebay. Got 5 pounds for less than 10 dollars. I havent cleaned it all, I clean it as I need it. It's pretty easy to clean but it sinks. I guess thats the extra price you pay for wool in the raw. Pick out the best curls. I take what I think I will need and soak it several times with out agitatating in a basin of cool water. Most of the veggie matter comes out. The last soak I use Woolite. Makes it smell good. Then I just lay it on a towel to dry.

Thanks for the info, Paula. I think I'll try that next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big hug for you, Diane
