Emo Pincushion

[drowningmermaid.livejournal.com]

So, I made my sad little pincusion last night...


I got the idea from watching Uncommon Threads on the DIY network... they were making little travel-sized voodoo dolls and I thought it would be an adorable idea for a pincushion.

Instead of the total voodoo doll look, I turned him into an emo-goth-whyiseveryonealwayspickingonme-kid. My dad asked "who is it?" and I was a little too embarrassed to admit he DOES look a lot like my ex-husband... but he's no one special. really.

It's my first doll on my sewing machine so he's a little flawed, but it's expected.


He's my second attempt since my first attempt was too small (this is only about 5 inches tall)


face closeup... he's so sad.


and a nice big broken heart. It hurts to be different, don't you know.


I even painted his 'nails'.


I think I love him. Unlike my ex-husband.
