After his supporting role at the Sydney Easter Show Wee Stig has made it to the top - a feature appearance on
Top Gear Australia. His presence there was a very roundabout sequence of events originating from
this post and ending up with a request from the production manager of the show.
She wanted to know if I could make a few more Wee Stigs as gifts for her hard-working production crew. I explained that if I accurately charged the full amount of time and labour it would cost $300 per doll! To get round this I offered to make some String Dolls - I had never made them before but I decided to give it a go. Two weeks later I travelled to the Bankstown Studios of Top Gear Australia to deliver this:
A dozen Mini Stigs made of string, cotton, glue and felt. They are exclusively unique but I won't be taking orders as I've moved on to my next obsession - Socks.

They're cute and answer the need but I prefer the knitted one!
