The Grinch, a Xmas commission in June

I have been catching up with commissions and as is often the way for dollmakers, I am doing xmas in June !












I have a lovely santa Claus almost finished and today put the finishing touches to my Grinch.





I hope my customer will like him, I think he turned out really well .





He has been a lot of work, its impossible to find grinch coloured fur so I have had to do some trickery with some copic marker pens and some rather illuminous green fun fur !





I have also just spent 3 hours snipping his white fur trim to scale , a very itchy experience :0)





The things we do to replicate something in 12th scale !





Hope you like the result,
