It's all in the details

One of which involved moving the buttons on Lou's shirt to the correct side. :) I never remember which side is for women and which for men and I never seem to be wearing a shirt with buttons when I need to know, lol. While I was doing that I added a placket to the button hole side. I also pulled threads from the denim to add seaming for the fly, front slash pockets and outside seams.
I added back pockets with a "used" bandana handkerchief hanging out of one of them.
I wanted to make sure he would sit like he was slumped up against a building - gotta have posing options, you know. ;)

Thank you all for your kind words about Lou. It's so exciting for me when I can really see progress in my doll making skills. Lou makes me smile.

Just playin' around

On one of my mini forums, someone said something about needing a drunk doll to complete a scene. She wasn't completely serious but she started my creative juices, lol. Lou is the result. He could just be out on a bender for the night but his red nose makes me think that this is a very common event. I've been experimenting with different techniques for the doll skeletal system with my last couple of dolls. I think I've figured out what works best for a plump doll.
