Guy Smiley






Here's a new figure for my Sesame Street collection: Guy Smiley! He was one of the more challenging figures to make, mainly because of the hair. His hair is made from many little bits of yarn that have been glued to his head with epoxy. At first his hair looked really wild, as the strands of yarn were a lot longer while I was attaching them. I should have taken a picture! Oh well, he looks a lot better after a haircut anyway. The main parts of this figure are made from some very cheap (actually free) wood. The body (excluding the arms) was carved from the handle of a broken shovel, and the head was made from an old table leg that someone was throwing out last month. How's that for recycling?
