They call me Red

Simply Red....







I was challenged to make this doll by one of my customers, I liked the idea she came up with so I thought why not, I doubt I'll be finished anytime soon but I thought y'all might like to see what I've done so far...

so far so great! I love how he is biting his lip. would love to see it finished someday. sometimes challanges are great inspiration! thats one of the reason I like swaps, sometimes youre given a theme and you have to think totally different then what you would normally do!
I'm about 99.9% sure that you could make anything!
hugs!

Brilliant!
And it's not too late to do the college thing. Not that you need it! I went with 2 little kids in tow, and graduated at 30. There were several people there that were older than me too.

Flora said...

Hello Jo!!!! Long time no see!!! Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comment too!!
I've done the whole college thing for something else, with one child in tow and a marriage falling apart, believe me it was no picnic but I got through it, Thank the good lord!!!
Not too sure if I care to do it again...
Blessings,flora
