Below is Dietrich, wearing cat ears and makeup on his nose like a cat. He is a big boy standing at 27" in height and a width of 7.5". He is composed of papier mache, rafia and wood. Dietrich will be one of two tall figures I have planned (remember, plans can change!!) for sale at the SpookyTime Jingles premier.
Dietrich stands on a 3.5" x 5" base, wears 4" high boots, 5 striped stockings, and has a 3-dimensionally sculpted face on his lantern.
You can get a better look at the lantern in the picture above, plus the details of the rafia hands and collar, boo-buttons on his cuffs and shirt, and the top of his buckle and belt are just visible above his hands. The belt goes all around his back and chubby little tummy.
Dietrich lost a tooth due to his lack of a dental program and consuming way too much yak-stew and froggy eyes without remembering to floss. He hopes his lovely green eyes and otherwise lovely smile will not deter you from thinking him a handsome boy. Because Dietrich lives with cats, he had to have a kitty-ear headband and a painted kitty nose to complete his appearance.
That's it for today...happy creating!!
