-
- Mexiganders
- These geese have Poncho Via style mustaches but are not packing the guns and ammo. The inspiration for these guys were a collection of fabrics I had on hand that worked great for their ponchos and a grocery cart full of pompom fringe on sale at a fabric warehouse which worked perfect for the hat trim. Spanish geese are just adorable.

- Air Force Cadet Uniforms
- These two outfits were requested by a mom whose son was in the Air Force Officer training program out in Colorado. She lived back east in Virginia. She sent me a couple of snap shots of her son which were so small I needed a magnifying glass to get the details, many of which I included, right down to the actual neck tie! I sent the photos back to her along with the completed outfits and can only image how many conversations about her son were sparked by that goose on her porch dressed in a uniform.
-
- Pope
- One day a rather unusual lady came in my store wishing to purchase a NUN goose. I was able to accommodate her with out much trouble. Several weeks passed and she returned to my store wishing to purchse a POPE goose. This request required some research for me and was a bit more involved. At some point she explained to me that both the NUN and the POPE geese were gifts. The first to her sister who was a SISTER and the second to her sister's friend who was a PRIEST.
As far as I know these two geese never wore any other clothes.
-
- Christmas Deer with Leggings
- These snapshots are of the very first set of deer garments I ever made back in about 1991, in Edwardsville, Illinois. The lady who owned the statues had very specfic ideas of what she wanted for her Christmas yard decorations. I manufactured and sold hundreds of these deer coats in the following years.
-
- Penguins
- These outfits were inspired by a very nice lady from the greater St. Louis area who had a concrete goose and also a special fondness for Penguins. When she inquired about the possibility of me making such a penguin costume for her goose, I just happened to have all the materials you see on hand. The body suits are made of vinyl and the red fringe on the scarfs was left over from some western shirts I had made years earlier. They turned out very well and were a big hit around town.
