Proud American



" Uncle Sam I Am "
Uncle Sam I am, so fortunate to be,
Born in a land so beautiful and free.
Uncle Sam I am, so fortunate to be,
Living in a country blessed with
sweet liberty.
Uncle Sam I am, so fortunate and proud,
That I can call myself an.. AMERICAN!
by Flora Thompson

Peanut had some pencil head dolls she had made on her blog and I got the idea to do my guy this way from her, with a "Bone*Head*Studios" touch...Thanks Peanut.!
Uncle Sam has finally been sent to "The Humble Arts" where I hope he will find a loving home. I've seen some of the fabulous creations and I think y'all need to mark the date on a calender, so y'all won't miss it, cause when it's gone it's...gone! Just click the link Okay?
So see ya there?
Here are some " in progress " pic's;

    I love seeing how people work! And dolls are alien territory to me, so interesting how you sculpt and mould, and then you get a terrific chap like this. But I love the dear wheely elephant best of all...

    The little rhyme you were asking about is an old children's hymn, it is actually longer but as a little girl I only knew the first 2 verses.
    The full words and a rather cranky tune sample can be found at this site
