robert smith doll

created for J's christmas present
inspired by this book


based mostly on my hazy recollection of what robert smith looks like

robert's head and body are knitted, eyes and brows are embroidered, mouth is a very small piece of felt that was sewn on, hair is woven in, then ratted out. the pants and jacket are sewn from black felt with snap closure and buttons for show. i just couldn't bring myself to figure out how to make buttonholes.
