His name is Wirligig and he is 16" tall without his hat. He has unique manikin eyes with top and bottom leather eyelids. These were extremely difficult to do. Hope you like him and will excuse him being a bit ugly!!!sometimes ugly can be beautiful I told him!!!

Hiya,
I love the colours, and I am very intrigued by the eyes - are they mannequin eyes like you would find on a shop mannequin - ?
Best wishes,
Claire.

Jo, he's not ugly at all, he has a pensive expression that suits him, and I love his colours!
Thanks everyone for your comments -I love reading them. He reminds me of Sid from Ice age!
The eyes are dolls eyes and have a tube like spout on them -Wish you could get these eyes with wires so they could be stitched .Very difficult to fix in, had to use glue as well as stitching .
