Dilu Sep 5, 2005

OK  This is my first felted golly- I'm not sure I would do another this small-hard to dress-  the sleeves were a killer.

But he is done, and I feel like Dr. Bosley! :lol::lol::lol:

(For our friends overseas, Dr. Bosley started the hair plug clinic for bald men a million years ago and advertised on TV for many many many many years....needle felting the hair on made me feel like I putting in hair plugs.)

I had a choral director who used to get hair plugs all the time.  And he would be canducting us and the little scabs would pop off- kinda hard to hold it together when something like that happens....Yes, you are so right; Diane laughs at inappropriate times....

Anyway, I hope this little guy, whom I think I will name Bosley, makes you giggle inappropriately, or at least smile...:):):)

Oh my gosh Dilu....I will never look at a gollie again without thinking of Mr. Bosley...what a riot!  ROFL
Your Mr. Bosley is just adorable.  I don't think I have ever known anyone quite as golliehappy as you.  Your little creations are just wonderful.

Dilu what a scream!  He is darling!  I love the colored shirt and buttons.  What do you use for the hair?  On the golly girl I have, that you created, it feels real. Very fine and soft too.

Wow, Dilu . . . you're going golly great guns with this needlefelting!!  Yes, how tall (or small) is this little Bosley guy?  Cute, cute outfit he has on!

Shelli Retired Help Advisor, Banner SponsorSep 5, 2005

I have the most awful, hysterically funny visual now, of music combined with tiny, springy, circular scabs.

I've seen Dr. Bosley on TV; I stay up late and occasionally run across his infomercials.  Not a bad looking guy, hairplugs or otherwise!

AWESOME Golly, of course, Dilu.  Thanks for making me smile big.  And not at all, inappropriately.

Interesting to be sure.

Dilu -

You are fabulous and what a mental picture I have of scabs popping off and hair plugs.  Bosley is precious with his very colorful outfit.  I am certainly smiling.

Oh, Dilu... I see a new family of felted Gollies in your future!!!
He's great! I love him! For a little fella he's got lots of spirit!!

Do tell how big/little he is!

Dilu Sep 6, 2005

Well guys, I just measured him, he is 21/2 inches tall- what my index finger is-

Actually- one of the gals mentioned that she broke a lot of needles when she felted doll hair onto vinyl heads....so I remembered what my dolls looked like and used the same wool to felt into Bosley's head as he is made of...

Judi, my regular gollies have mohair- Intercal has some lucious 2-3" long thich stuff and Edinburgh has 4", not as soft and lucious, but wild.

I'm so glad you guys got a laugh-  I can still remember him, MR. MARTIN,
his family gave him hair plug gift certificates for everything, father's day, b-days, Christmas, any excuse at all.  I was in choir for 3 years and also did the musicals and I never really thought his hair plugs made any differance.  Poor guy. 

Well I have a purple bear to finish---trying to do toe nails!

Dilu he is just great!  (and love the story too )

matilda Sep 6, 2005

Oh! Dilu, Mr Bosley is just too cute for words. Boy did you make me laugh.
If anyone is interested 2 1/2 inches is 6.5cm in metric.
Sorry but I can't figure things in the imperial system anymore. I keep having to convert.
But boy Dilu I love that Golli!!!!.     Matilda

Dilu Sep 6, 2005

Hi guys,

I am glad you laughed or smiled.  My honey asked, when I put pigmonkeybear on the site why I would show some so "uuuuggggglllllllyyyyy"  :lol:

I told him that sometimes a person just needs to know it is ok to laugh at ourselves and that gives other's a kind of permission to laugh too. 

Jane- yu sillikins-  although I wonder how long it would take to make a 21" golly....hmmmm....I don't think I will live long enough-and I'm only 53. :lol::lol:

Marie, re: super small clothing; I did the sleeves and collar by hand, but the rest isn't too hard on the machine, and it is much faster.

Daphne, you are right- he needs a little sister, right now he is like Rudoph
with Santa-the other gollies are making fun of him and won't let him play in any golly games...humph!
