Tickles the Yo buy Yo Clown Collectible Handcrafted Fabric Doll

"Tickles"

This festive guy is swirling with dots in red, green, blue, yellow and more. His complimentary print is a vibrant red. Tickles has a cute red clown hat and fantastic blue hair.

Tickles was created using 34 yo yos (gathered fabric rounds) from quilting fabric for his arms and legs. His body and ruffled collar are also made from the same quilting fabric as well as the hand made tag on his rear. Tickles' head is a yo yo made from soft flannel with a hand drawn face. His hair is made from soft blue yarn. New hypoallergenic stuffing was used for his head, body, hands, and feet. He measures approximately 14" long lying down and about 11" tall when sitting. Tickles can sit on his own when he finds his balance.

Don't miss his red-haired twin, Giggles (see photo), who is available in a separate listing.

Each yo yo doll will include a card with his/her name, date of completion and a poem I wrote to pay tribute to all of those yo yos of yesteryear.

Yo yo clowns/dolls have been around for a long time...you may remember Jingling buy Jack from the 1950s, and over the years, I have received numerous requests to recreate the cute clown. I apologize for those who have waited so long (years!) for me to come up with my own take of this classic doll. I have tried and discarded many ideas, but I finally settled on a design. :) I didn't want to make just clowns, so I will be posting a little variety of what I am calling "yesterday's yo yo dolls". Enjoy and if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. Robin

**I am happy to change the name of a doll if you prefer something different. Include a message at checkout and I will change the name card accordingly.
