Here is he pretty much done though I am not happy with the soles of his shoes as I mentioned before so I will be repairing them and already have a solution in mind. His hat is felt with a butterfly applique on the front. The real hats they wear appear to be made from a hard substance. I found some from the 1700s made of cloth but shaped. I decided to add the felt florets for the shape. It looked like some of the older hats of the apprentices had something similar. His name, El Mariposa means the Butterfly. The challenge fabric has butterflies on it. There is also a beaded butterfly applique on his cape which is sewed to the base. Various views. Don't know why Blogger won't let me move the pics around!
