The Crocheted: Mom's Kids

Published:

Description

The dolls are finally finished. :w00t:
They're standing at 18cm (about 7") tall - even on their own, if they're carefully balanced.
There are magnetic buttons attached to their feet to mount them onto the wooden base and to add some weight to them for free standing.

Background:
I created these dolls for my mother's 50th birthday (which was a few days ago). They're my younger brothers and me.
The blond one's in the "uniform" of the local volunteer fire department, which he's a member of. Me in my usual layer clothing (though I wish I had such full hair =P). And the dark one in his favorite t-shirt and obligatory ankh-necklace and neighbor's kitty, which I'm sure is in love with him. ;)
This project was a full family effort. I had my brothers posing for reference pictures (and paying me for their dolls :giggle:, so it would be a present from all of us kids) and my father made the wooden base and the wire glasses.

Weight Stats:
about 50g (about 1.7oz) per doll, 10g for the jacket, 5g for the cat, about 440g (about 15.5oz) all together with wooden base.
