Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This is a no-sew rag doll built in a El Toro Tequila bottle. He represents an illegal alien who has snuck into the country - thus the name "Illig-it in a Bottle." He is made from both muslin cloth and cotton for the tunic. He has brown yarn hair and a black mustache. His belt and the wrap around the neck of the bottle were created from Friendship bracelets. The bottle has a large plastic sombrero for a cap. This doll is the latest in a sequence of "It" dolls that are given each Christmas.
