Viking (a Scottish Viking in fact)

[Foxy Sam]

Here is the Scottish Viking I made on request for a friend.
I used the body pattern from the pillow pixie elf by Peggytoes: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/toy/pillow-pixi...

though I changed the ears and made the rest up, the hair took ages but I wanted it to look wild and woolly, which I think looked great. Then I did a sewn kilt and felt shirt as well as a sporran and a kilt pin…what do you think? My friend loved it! oh and a polymer clay viking axe and viking hammer with bamboo handles.



Here he is whilst his outfit was in progress...but still has his shirt on to keep his dignity (o= ha!


with kilt on but without sash at this stage...


Close up of some of his details...


His back


with sash


with viking hat and shield


a close look at his eyes and eye brows


another close up this time of his kilt pin and pouch


with his shield






I made them out of polymer clay and bamboo sticks.




With his tools/weapons:






I also made detachable genitals as she wanted some for a laugh but not all the time so that her kids wouldn't see, but I didn't take a photo of them...they had the hook velcro on them so that they just stuck to the wool when wanting to.   

What do you think of him?

[Antidigger]

He's wonderful. I love all of his little details and the abundance of his hair. The thought of detachable gentialia made me laugh too.

[SilverMoon]

I love love love him.

And now I have the song Detachable Penis stuck in my head - thanks!

I think I'm going to have to make one of these for my husband, hahaha.

I cannot imagine how much time you put into that! Great work!

[AmyLynn98]

He rocks because of all the little details, but your POST rocks because of this phrase: "I also made detachable genitals..." 

[Foxy Sam]

Thanks Antidigger, I wanted his hair to be wild and woolly!

Thanks Silvermoon, I so didn't know there was a song called detachable penis...hehehehe...

Thanks purpleparadox - it was lots of fun, took ages but think it turned out great.

Thanks johnson.mom2two it did take a very considerable length of time, in fact ages...hehehe 

Thanks AmyLynn98 - it certainly made me laugh.

[SiFi Mom]

What a fantastic little guy.  I can't believe all the detail you put into him.

[Foxy Sam]

Thanks kaz814, Cinciut and SiFi Mom for the compliments!  I love the details too, they were fun to make too, gives him more dimension I think.
