I love a challenge, me. Well, sometimes.
When Kate from Tall Tales from Chiconia challenged me to make a boy doll, at first I dismissed the idea.
“Don’t I have enough boys in my life already?” I thought.
I remembered that I used to joke with lad about his Lego figures being boy dollies. (Naughty mummy!)
But that challenge niggled and naggled away at me. And today, it came to fruition.
I was making a few rabbit creatures, with Easter in mind.
And when I got to the personalisation stage with the first one, the slightly big hands decided it. Time to go masculine.
I didn’t think about how exactly to do it, I just… did.
Doing the face was a worry, but I think he does look like a boy…
Definitely not a girl, and definitely not a man either.
Although I’m not sure whether perhaps he should have trousers over his onesie…?
Anyway, he looks sweet next to his girl friend.
A nice boy.
I just hope his head’s not turned when the rest of that gaggle of bunny girls arrive on the scene. ♥
Clothes would be gilding the lily! He’s lovely, your Bunny Boy, and I’m so glad you changed your mind.
Thanks for the suggestion! It just takes me a while to process these things.
And the result is better than I could have imagined.
Yes, definitely a boy and he looks so cute with his girlfriend. No trousers required – he’s fab as is xx
Ha! He’s brilliant – I absolutely love your work and your creativity. Keep them coming!
I’m too obsessed with them not to Zoe – I don’t even care if nobody else likes them, I just want to make more and more!
