a zlott! in biff!!!'s clothing
it's important to note here that i'd do this for just about anybody, and love of this particular friend should be in no way equated with this effort, nor does it really enter into it, or exist. frankly, he and i know enough about each other that if we had any sense or shame we'd not speak anymore at all and just try to get on with new, less embarassing, revisionist versions of our lives.
he hit me with so many pies that day. so many heavy, hurtful pies.
the chart is pretty close, and swatching it once or twice should clarify things, then i'll try the overstitching for the shading. it's going to be just a simple watchcap, but chances are there's no room for a turned-up brim, so instead i'm going to make a huge floppy leghorn-brim, because everyone knows that's lovely.

i've talked before about the onomatopoeia of batman and how attractive i found it. i mentioned this to a friend who thought he might wear a hat with a zlott! on it, but wanted it in the coloring of the biff!!!

in removing the zlott! from its habitat, i lost the shading, and had to reapply it by hand, albeit in a primative fashion. the shading is still too subtle to work directly into the chart, but will be accomplished later, hopefully, with overstitching. not sure what anybody's monitor shows, but the manos del uruguay is a good color match for the biff!!!!
