And now for the dwarf. That short man in the hat and beard is WD's version of Thorin Oakenshield from
The Hobbit. We have been reading through it together as a family.
The costume is completely from McCalls 3789. View C & E.
WD picked out the colors. He actually wanted Red pants. I just couldn't do it when I was fabric shopping. So I went with the rust. He was OK with it, fortunately. The hat is modified from the pattern. I made the cone part, and instead of putting on the large brim, I measured WD's head and made a band.
Here's a very hot dwarf, drinking 'sarsaparilla'. Rootbeer w/ licorice flavor in it.
PS. One more day to
enter the giveaway. Winners announced tomorrow afternoon.
I think he looks like he was happy to shed the beard, but it IS a fabulous beard. Really great job.
ReplyDeleteI used to drink sarsaparilla at fairs, and olde time ice cream parlors. I'd forgotten about it!
