Basswood Bitty Boy #1-06
Carved in January of 2006. The paint
used is Liquitex Acrylic Paints.
Several light coats of Liquitex Matte Varnish protect the surface.
This bitty boy ended up with a flat back to his head, so I
used wood putty to make his head better shaped.
I used white buttons to help joint his arms and legs in place to avoid a huge
knot.
Because he is elastic jointed, he is fully poseable.
He is signed on the back as follows: JGD 1-06.
The letters JGD are my initials, and 1-06 means this is the #1 of 2006 Bitty
Boy carved.
He wears white socks and black sneakers.
His favorite sport is skateboarding, and he sure wishes winter
was over
so he could practice outside again.
|
Of course he will be bringing his dog! As you can see,
he has a big bag of Puppy Chow and is very concientious about making
sure his puppy is fed and excersised. (Puppy is housebroken.)
|
His other favorite occupation is fishing. He has his own fishing
pole (copmplete with bobber and fish!), a can of worms, and a life
jacket. He also likes to read, and has read through his book Fresh
Water Fishing many, many times.
|
Boys eat a lot, so this Bitty is bringing his own lunch to
eat while he reads his new book, Holes, by Louis Sacher.
He has a jelly sandwich, 2 deviled eggs, a dill pickle, and an apple.
|
He comes dressed in a pair of new blue overalls and a blue t-shirt,
which are completely removable. (Boys need their clothes washed a
lot!)
|
He is able to stand on his own, and does not need the
assistance of a doll stand.
