Uncle Sam B - 132
36" tall Uncle Sam B is a new creation. He's made of muslin. His nose, lips and fingers are needle sculpted. He's been painted black and sanded then stained again. His eyes are brown, vintage look buttons I've recycled from a man's shirt. His "boots are painted and sanded". He has raw Cotswold sheep's wool hair and beard. His head, arms and legs are stuffed with polyester fiberfill and his body is stuffed with ragg (trimmings from my sewing projects and clean cut up clothing discards) to weight him so he sits nicely.
His clothing is 100% cotton. The lined vest is beige with navy blue stars. His hat brim and coat are navy blue homespun. Both are lined. The lapels are turned way back like colonial soldiers did (I've even seen a photo of Thomas Jefferson with the whole front of the coat tack back as a lapel). There are 2 navy blue buttons on each lapel. The pants and stovepipe of the hat are dark red and beige stripe. The hat is wires to stand nice and tall and also stuffed with polyester fiberfill to increase the stability. The doll, vest, pants and hat are all coffee/vanilla stained. There is also a hanging loop on the back of his hat brim so you can hang him with his feet touching a table top--it'll look like he's standing. He's signed "designed and made with love, Lucy".
