Custom Order - Lineman P.2

Well, not the best in photos, but I managed to complete the Lineman Doll.  The recipient will end up getting him tomorrow.


He was well received and I was told I captured the likeness of the recipient without ever seeing the guy.  ESP

Custom Order - Lineman

This weekend, I shall attempt to finish up a 'custom order' of sorts (a very special someone - Mr. Doodle - has requested/nagged me to death for them *grin*) 

Several dolls are mere inches high, using a Sz 8 thread hook with 2 strands of WW Yarn - which has to be manually separated... the larger doll (pictured below) is about 6.5 inches tall using WW Yarn (4-ply).  

It's tedious work.. that is very stressful on my wrist, which still has it's 'bubble'.. 


Some pieces of the pattern are a bit challenging, so I am not sure what will become of it.

Re: Famous Characters

Recently, I've received requests to design famous iconic characters as well as some Video Gaming characters. Thank you for your confidence, however, I must decline.

These iconic characters, most of which fall under 'Trademark' and/or  'Service Marks', could, potentially have some serious ramifications from larger companies like Disney, Paws, Inc/Jim Davis, Capcom, etc.
TradeMark is taken just as serious, if not more so than Copyright - as these characters are the 'bread and butter' for a company - infringing on those marks could potentially cause monetary loss, lack of quality control and/or  loss of sponsorship/approval of goods.  Trademarks, essentially, make it easier for consumers to identify the source of any given good, companies are not willing to give up their exclusivity easily (or cheaply).

For this reason, it is not beneficial for me to take the time it needs to design, test and prepare a quality product for retail sale.  While I cannot say it will never happen, as there is currently a "Hello Kitty" which is awaiting a stitch job and some facial features - only characters which my children have asked for would stand a chance of being made.

Any iconic 'tributary' designs, will always be made available for FREE on my blog and therefore 'orders' or 'requests' for such items are strictly designed or ignored at my discretion. 

For those who insist, "so-and-so sells this-or-that and they don't have problems."  
I have a few friends (one very close) who've recently been reprimanded by legal advisories from companies such as Warner Brothers and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation for items which were listed on etsy and that can no longer be advertised as previously done.  
I am simply not willing to put the FiberDoodles by K4TT name in the line of fire, for a potential legal actions.
