I just finished this guy last night. . . This Veggie Head doll represents 'long term funk'. Sometimes it makes us snap at others, sometimes it makes us feel like we are surrounded by clouds and all we want to do is stomp around wearing stiff boots. Sometimes it makes us want to ignore everyone, even just go to bed and cry.
About the materials, The fabric on the back of the cape looks like the electricity in the air during a lightning storm. The red silk lining comes from the inside of my favorite peacoat which is falling apart, and the body is cashmere. Ooh la la! (What can I say, the store ran out of grey felt.) I couldn't break down and buy a half yard of real leather for his itty bitty boots which would have been just my cup of tea had they been made of alligator skin... it worked out better that way though because they ended up a thin vinyl which wasn't too hard to push through with a needle.
