Hey, Emmelia, did you painstakingly sew a miniature plague doctor mask out of deer hide? Why yes. I did. What else did you do? Well, I didn't just have a fake conversation with myself. However, I DID make a plague doctor doll, and it's finished!
This little fellow was a plague doctor who succumbed to the terrible bubonic plague. Perhaps his mask didn't quite have enough perfume stuffed in the beak. Perhaps the wind carrying the disease was stronger that day. Regardless... soon his body was covered in black pustules, and he was another one of the victims.
He is embroidered with the pustules (formed with the power of french knots), and the rhyme 'Ring around a rosy'. For coverings and clothing he is equipped with trousers, a heavy wool coat, a hat, and a leather plague doctor mask. Every aspect is completely hand sewn.
