This is a simple little summer guy - the first of what I intend to have as a series of Big Foot characters. I have several ideas, but this is the first that has made it to completion.
You can make him AS IS (punch list follows) or you could make his body, arms and legs flesh tone and add a little bathing suit for Snorkeler Somebody.
Here's the punch list for Diver Dude:
Head - Wide Oval
Hair - 1.75 Inch Circle, cut in half, snipped in a couple of times for bangs
Eyes - smallest heart of Heart to Heart in white - standard hole punch in black, white gel pen highlight
Mouth - word window offset from word window hole
Body - 3/4 Inch Circle
Hands - Modern Label, repunched on both ends with the circle from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack
Flippers - Large ovals, repunched by inserting just the tips into the Square Scallop
Arms and Legs - rings from punching a circle punch around a smaller circle hole - the bigger the circles you use the less "curve" you will have. Snip the ring to the size arm/leg you need.
Mask - ring from Large Oval around Small Oval hole
Snorkel - Wide Oval next to a Large Oval hole (not surrounding it - just offset), then I snipped both ends with a small circle so they would look "indented"
I outlined all the "non black" parts with a black marker.
Oh, he is just the best, Ellen. Can't wait to try him out. Thanks once again for your brilliant ideas. Who needs an inspiration fairy when we have you !!
