Custom-made bunny

Here's another weird glove doll, made by request for a little lady in L.A. named Ruby whose favorite color is...you'll never be able to guess this, so I'll just tell you: pink.

Ruby OK'd these lovely moisturizing gloves from this picture on Ebay:



And this was the result:



Let's take a closer look. She had a button nose at first but that made her look too much like a pig with strangely long ears, so I swapped it out for a couple stitches. I'm not sure it worked, but it does seem like a step in the more rabbit-y direction, at least.



Here she is rehearsing for the rapt conversations she's sure to have with Ruby's other dolls:



I hope they all get along! I wonder if, amongst all the other dolls, it'll be a thing of pride to have been made from a pair of gloves, or an embarrassing secret that should be kept from the others at all costs.
