Hi. Here's a new piece I created called KING TUT. He is 15" tall and is entirely sewn by hand, including all his costuming.

I wrestled with his head piece design for hours. In fact I threw out the first two I made. It felt like I was doing origami. The best part was sewing all the tiny glass beads onto his collar. Everything is original and I don't know if I will make another.....well, maybe...once I forget how frustrating this was to make. bear_whistle bear_wacko

Totally fabulous as only you can make them, Judi - but the part I love the best is the ears sticking through that awesome head piece. bear_wub

What I think stands out about this is its not just the costume who makes him King Tut, but the face, the nose, the eyes. Fantastic! :dance:

Thank you very much. :hug:
He was a time consuming but very fun piece to make...except the head piece. That took the longest to make and was not very enjoyable. My family complained of the paint smell while I was layering the metallic gold color on his head piece....it was strong bear_wacko If I ever make another the costuming again will be from scratch as I did not make a pattern. bear_whistle

Tami, he was not a custom order. He was a piece I have had on my mind to create for quite some time. For now, I am keeping him. bear_original

Wow Wow Wow!!!!

Judi, he is SOOOOO incredible! He has such an accurate costume. I have been completely obsessed with anything Egyptian for as long as I can remember. For my OAC (Grade 13) art class, we had to pick a subject and base all of our work for the whole year on that subject. Needless to say, I chose Egyptian! I did four paintings, two sculptures, some pen and ink portraits and more stuff that I can't remember and I am watching any program on Egypt I find on TV. He is freakin' fabulous. One of my fave pieces of yours for sure!

Congrats on such a wonderful piece!
