In junior high, I was deeply, passionately in love with The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Not top-dog Napoleon Solo (played by Robert Vaughn), but his sidekick Ilya Kuryakin (played by David McCallum). I scrawled Ilya in the margins of my textbooks. I praticed writing Mrs. Ilya Kuryakin on page after filler-paper page in every imaginable variation of penmanship. So imagine my delight when I popped open the DeriDolls blog this morning and found my true love immortalized in felt soft sculpture. See more shots–and more David dolls in more outfits–at Deri’s post.
