you say potato, i say potata
from humble potato sack to spiffy ensemble:
the sack is very old and soft, i reinforced it with a cotton lining. it was the only sack i had, so no room for errors! pom poms or buttons to be added next.
some fellas getting dressed and ready for the big update next week. oh, the clothing fittings, photo shoots... what a glamorous life, eh? (*regarding sneak peeks: no advanced orders being taken. thanks!)7.21.2010

dig in!
that's my approach to selecting monkey eyes from hundreds (and i do mean hundreds) of vintage buttons. i scoop up handfuls, sort them on a tray and sift for 'gold'. it is the eyes after all that bring soul to a face, and in the case of the sock monkeys... some humor too :) they are looking pret-ty, pret-ty special! check back for more sneak peeks as things progress...
