Hi Tova Dian, happened to be around and saw your comment. I am glad every time I hear of somebody appreciating our myths and culture. Sandy has really made a very nice doll out of this infamous cyclop.

I just love this! I love the Greek myths anyway, but have never seen a cyclops doll. I love it in felt, too.

You are welcome Sandy. So now you know in case any of the kiddos who got them feels intrigued to find out more. I also loved the way you set him up for photography. Among rocks and plants, his very proper environment. I also make cloth dolls -among other crafts-, I am self taught and practically have also given them all away as gifts except for three I made for my 2 daughters.

Forgot to tell you that he already has a name of his own. It is POLYFIMOS (translates as "'very famous") but does not exist as a name anymore nor has it been ever recorded as a name for anybody else in our mythology or history. Michailia

Hi Sandy, most queer that I happened to check on this. (I was previously commenting on your Bali pot). Funny thing is your Cyclop is one of the well known characters in our greek mythology and I did not expect a non-greek to make such a doll. In case you do not know he belongs to a famous epic work by Homer (antique greek poet) and his notorious greek hero Odysseus who had to stick a sharp pole on his single eye to render him blind and get away from his cave. He was a giant monster figure ferocious but stupid alright. It is a long story, and widely sold as an adventure book for children all over the world. Name is ODYSSEIA. Just in case somebody would like to make a gift of it to your friend. I guess it exists in engligh. Michailia

Thank You for the info. I didn't really know anything about him. I just enjoyed making him. I've made 7 little monsters now. And given them all away. :)
