The pirate

Looks fabulous!

Where is this fellow going to live?

Thanks Janet - no idea. He'll go with the rest of them in boxes until I pluck up the courage to sell some.

gawd your churning them out!!!

i really think you should sell some...and dont let them go for nothing...you'll make good money i just know it!! ... rant over....gawd i sound like me mam!!! :lol:

Linda, I have no idea how much to charge for a doll. I see other peoples dolls but the range of prices is vast and I don't know where mine sit in that range.

Where do you get all the wonderful fabrics, trims, leather (faux or real?) and buckles and clips, and do-dads and such?

It's all those tiny items that make the clothes so stunningly realistic.

Selkie,

I have a whole load of fabrics that I collected when I was making beds and stuff. The leather (its all real leather, I don't like the faux stuff) is from scraps that I found on Smithfield market last time I was in London. I'm soon going to need some more if I do any more pirates or highwaymen etc but my son lives down there so I can always call in a few favours - whatdya mean - I brought you up didn't I.

This pose really shows him off. I love that "come hither" look he's got! I suspect he's quite the "lady's man"!!!

Yep Rhonda, that's what I was trying to capture - that sort of half smile and the beckoning finger.
