Hipster Highlander Dolls

Etsy User Mimi Kirchner Models a Toy After a Tattooed Man in a Kilt

— August 14, 2014 — Art & Design
Tattooed Man in a Kilt is the name of Mimi Kirchner's striking art doll that is modeled after a handsome and bearded Scottish man. The Etsy user is known for her stunning creations that are more of a decor accent or collector's item rather than a children's toy.

This doll is constructed from a toile fabric that is dyed with a flesh-colored tone. The doll is then accented with intricate body art that mimics tattoos and features hair and beard accents, made using dyed twill cotton.

Lastly, the doll's most vivid accents are its plaid kilt and cashmere scarf details. When lifted, its kilt reveals a set of striped boxer shorts that match with its red color scheme. In addition to her tattooed doll characters, Mimi Kirchner's other creations include woodland creatures that are dressed in human clothes.
