Description
Howl! ^_^ He's so pretty.I like how his white shirt turned out. I simplified it a bit, but I like how it looks flowy.
That coat... yes, I cut out 36 diamond-shaped pieces of fabric and sewed them together quilt-style. It actually wasn't that bad, but ironing the seams inside was a bit annoying since it's so small. I think there's room for improvement, so if I ever make him again, I'll be sure to get it done better.
He's done with the same pattern as my Chihaku pair~ 11" high, skin is with deersuede. Eyes are handpainted.

He's really cute, and a great likeness!
I don't envy you having to stitch together that jacket, but it turned out very well. I particularly like all the bits of jewelry you included, it really finishes off the doll.

The detail is absolutely incredible. Much better than any store-sold dolls I have ever seen. The cut of his clothing, the shirt sleeves and collar, the little diamonds sewed on his jacket, his necklace and the earrings, and the wonderfully layered hairβ¦heβs perfect, really.
I went to Fan Expo last year β it was my first ever convention. I saw your wonderful dolls - Chihiro, Haku, and of course, gorgeous Howl. You made me a mini Howl, who I love very much. And my little sister got a tiny Chihiro, with who she refuses to part. Thank you!

Oh cool! Yes, I remember making those. In fact, I was happy to have been commissioned for them since I love Ghibli so much. Good to hear that you've enjoyed FanExpo and that you like the keychains I made.

The new materials look great...
and yes, you are a genius who likes to 'suffer for your art' with that quilted coat.

Oh yes! I'm amazed that you managed to find blonde felt for his hair. Finding the colour in felt is HARD. (T_T)

pheleon In reply to prismtwine [2011-08-22 20:08:03 +0000 UTC]
Oh indeed. At one point, I couldn't find any. But now, I managed to find it online and the colour is called "butterscotch".

prismtwine In reply to pheleon [2011-08-22 20:30:23 +0000 UTC]
Excellent! Thank you for being kind and telling me the colour of the felt! Hopefully there is a shop in the UK that sells Butterscotch felt.

Awww I love the look with the hair just brushing his eyes! And the jacket looks amazing...sewing and ironing so many pieces-- Wow. >_<;; And I love what you got for the jewelry accents! --Wait, the Medicine Seller from Mononoke is a Ghibli character? O_O;

Oh my bad~~ I got the mononokes confused. LOL. Pardon my brain fart. But I do want to make him, despite him not being from Ghibli... and there are a ton of other Ghibli charas I want to make.

Threnodi In reply to pheleon [2011-08-22 23:32:09 +0000 UTC]
Oh, OK no worries, I wasn't certain myself. ^_^;; I really like his design too, though I'm too scared to actually watch the show. I love seeing cosplays of him.
