After weeks of (nonconsecutive) work, the Doc Hammer plush doll is finished. I began it in October and finished it yesterday. (I took the months of December through February off, though, for no real reason.) I have to thank my friend Niki who pushed me to turn it from a pile of disjointed plush limbs into the thing you see on your computer screen.

The tattoos on the arms were embroidered by hand (something I had never done before,) as were the Daniel Ash sideburns. The hair is katsilk from restoredoll.com and cost way too much money, while the plastic joints and doll eyes were from clothdollsupply.com (I recommend this website for all your cloth doll needs, really nice lady who called me to personally tell me that my order would be late.) The clothing cloth came from a hole-in-the-wall fabric shop that I highly recommend. The belt buckle is a pewter pin I bought on ebay from another nice lady.

I really wanted to step up the craftsmanship on my dolls and I think I achieved that.

My next step is making a tiny plush cigarette.
