Going fishing

"Huckleberry came and went, at his own free will. He slept on doorsteps in fine weather and in empty hogsheads in wet; he did not have to go to school or to church, or call any being master or obey anybody; he could go fishing or swimming when and where he chose, and stay as long as it suited him."

Of course I'm talking about Huckleberry Finn. He's the boy who can do as he pleases, has all freedom that we are secretly jealous of, on the other hand I doubt any of us would like to sleep on doorsteps or in hogsheads.

Meet Huckleberry Ted.
He just caught a fish and I hope for him he'll go home now showing it off.
Ted is made from a lampwork bead by Dzign by Jamie, his clothes, a shirt, pants with a pair of suspenders and his hat are crocheted from colored copper wire as is his fish.
I'm a little behind on listing, but hope he'll make it into the shop in the next few days.

Fishing in the morning when the sun just comes up is the best

  1. Oh I love him! I have been attempting to make beaded bears, enjoying it, but not as much as glass bears! He is really sweet x
