The debut of Tony!Doll; also, my auction over at livelongnmarry

[ria_oaks]

Well, I did it! I offered my doll-making "skills" over at livelongnmarry: http://community.livejournal.com/livelongnmarry/229926.html

So if anyone has a hankering for a plush doll and wants to support a great cause, please bid! :)

And on that note - meet Tony!Doll! I took pictures of everyone to post as examples (well, except for Gaara, who is currently sitting at my other house and is lacking clothing... and who frankly was too much of a pain in the ass for me to want to make again (besides, you can buy a much nicer official one online...), so I finally have pictures of Tony to post.













So whaddya think? I love him a slightly ridiculous amount.. and I'm not ashamed. ;) Took him to see Iron Man the second time, for chrissakes!

Bed now. Gotta be at work very early tomorrow, woe. :(

He is amazing!
I was going to do this myself actually but then I remembered I have no ability with sewing at all.

Thank you! And lol, well, if it helps, I know very little about sewing myself... I have a pretty simple pattern that my grandmother initially adapted from a raggedy Ann/Andy doll pattern and then taught me how to make them. I took a gr9 sewing class years ago, but that's it... really, all you need to learn is how to use the basics of a sewing machine and a few other assorted things. :) I wouldn't mind learning more, myself, so I can make more advanced ones. I saw a Captain Mal doll a guy had made at the Serenity screening a few weeks ago, and wow it was amazing. No loose threads or frayed edges, for one thing, lol!

Anyway, as I said in the post, if you want one my auction is still going until the 15th. :) Or I would consider posting a pattern and instructions if you were interested - already offered that to someone below. A very basic understanding of sewing is necessary though, I suppose, ie. how to thread the machine. :)
