"Who's the Giant?"

8/23/2014

 
Well, I've run out of stalling tactics - I even started working on old trip photos, just so I wouldn't totally be wasting my time. But it's high time to finally tackle the Musketeer commission for Tedros.

I managed to find everything I need right in my stash, and I have everything worked out in my head. Now to just start drawing up the patterns and cut out the fabrics. I'm just not thrilled about working on something quite so large. I've really gotten used to the Tiny sizes!  So, I thought I'd take a few photos of my smallest Iplehouse dolls, along with the largest size.....EID Tedros.....
Picture
He's three times as tall, and must weigh over ten times as much. It probably takes more 
resin to make an EID arm, than it does to make an entire BID doll. Just look at the size
 of those hands.....and those boots!  
Picture
But I still like him!  Well, better go strip him down and start with those patterns!

And that first photo is so funny......hehehehehee......the little ones really are staring at him! LOL!

Good thing he's friendly, and likes kids.

Well, I am a little further now - he's standing in his underpants on my kitchen table waiting to be measured for clothes patterns.

It's just that I'm soooo ridiculously tired and sore!

A gentle giant :o)

I hope you're feeling better soon!

I love that first photo! Bonnie's pose is especially cute. She seems really taken with him (he is a pretty handsome fellow).

Good luck with his costume. I'll be looking forward to posts of your progress!

Sorry you have not been feeling well. I love the way this guy looks with the BIDS.

Question: I've been working away on making a dress from your sundress pattern. Is there a pattern somewhere for the adorable crocheted hats?

Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know how to write crochet instructions, so there are no patterns for the hat. They really are very quick and simple to make. Maybe I could try it someday, and hope that people who know how to crochet would understand it.

Yes! Donna Leggee graciously offered to write up the crochet instructions, so there is now a tutorial page with the Crochet Hat Instructions.
