What's your favourite color?

Mine is green. This guy began life a long time ago.  He was gong to be Oberon and I had him dressed all in woodland green. I loved his boots and his pants, but somehow, his costume didn't get much further than a shirt. So he sat. 

I also realized his head was too small. 

Then along came my interest in steampunk and he came to light again. You might say he stepped forward!  I could cure his too small head with a big hat! So I made a big hat. Nice!  Lots of hair and facial hair, enlarged his face and head. Success! I love it when a loose plan comes together. 

I had this green velvet and made him a frock coat. My friend Wendy had made a doll with a telescope, so I was inspired to add one to this guy. I call him Dr Scopic. I think ,keeping with my green theme made him successful. 

Does the green work for you?

Crank

Meet Crank. I finished him for the show I did last weekend. He didn't sell, so he's now for sale in my Etsy store. The show was a bust as far as sales go, even though I had fun wearing my steampunk costume and hanging out with Choleena.

This guy is small, almost 11", with the base. He has polymer clay head, hands and feet. I used flocking to add texture to his hat and shoes. I wanted that true eccentric/ mad scientist look. His pants are too big, he has altered himself with a mechanical eye. He's a crank, so look out!
