i made this little DreadMan for a friend on his birthday. he's getting them done soon, so it was relevant. it's not shown in the pictures, but on the back it has a dread ring because he wanted one they sold on ebay but never bought it. yep.


it took around 4 hours to make, since the dreads are easy, but take some time. i put a bent paper clip and some red,yellow,green and black* string on it so he could hang it on the door, or something.
*those are the Rasta colors, and he's from that religion so, yeah.

close-up on the face. the dreads are flexible so you can move them around... that's why it looks slightly different in some pictures.

i had been lurking for a while, but never posted. i'm not that good sewing but i do it often, by hand. i have the handy machine thing but it was quite complicated so i never used it again. that is all.
