He is finished, And what a cute little patriot he is.
His little outfit makes him look as though he is straight off the frontier - ready to defend his country.
The technique that I use in painting my dolls gives them the feel leather, so it suits this little fellow very well.
I painted his clothing in shades of brown to emulate buckskin. His lace up shirt has double fringe across the front and the back. His pants have double fringe down the sides. His little boots lace up the sides in the old fashioned style.
He has brown painted hair and eyes.
He is made of muslin, stuffed with fiberfill and jointed at the shoulders and hips with lightly rusted tin buttons.
He is carrying a 13 star Betsy Ross style American Flag that is made of canvas and hand painted on both sides.
His hat is also made of muslin, that has been painted.
The doll an flag have underwent an aging process to give him that wonderful look of a antique toy from another era.
The Patriotic Frontiersman will be listed on ebay this coming Sunday June 29th.
