The Cook

My next dwarf is Bombue!  Lets get to it!

The sketch of what I want it to look like

All of the pieces cut out of flannel this time and laid out how I want the front and back to look

the arm, pants,and part of the jacket all stitched together

the other part of the jacket

so, i cut out all of these pieces for the back and the jacket part covers it all...screw it, I cut em out they are going to be part of this!

getting ready to put it together inside out

what the inside looks like while i'm stitching it togehter

Body done, onto the head

another detail of the belt and satchel

time for some hair!

unlike my others, Bombur's hair can't be combed, it's needle felted into its shape

his bald spot

the braid!  is actually a different color then the rest of his hair.  the hair on his head is a mix of dark red, yellow, and a light orange.  the braid is that color on its own.  I forgot I had it, otherwise i wouldn't have mixed the hair on his head.

And here are my boys thus far!
