Mickey Head Proportion?

[sconnell]

I know I've seen it, but what are the proportions of the ears:head and what distance are they apart? I want to do some things, but I MUST have a perfect (or near perfect) silhouette.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

is this what you are looking for?

Well, I could use that as a base. But I was really thinking, if I make my own base, I think I remember seeing proportions somewhere. like ears:head, 3:5. I tried this size and it looks right. Maybe.

I think that I remember reading ears:head is 3:5, but I don't know where I read that, so I'm not sure that is completely accurate. I also remember reading that the ears were perfect circles but somewhat flattened.

You have me really curious! Are you going to share your project when you are done?

lol.
That made me picture myself in some secret lab creating some tip secret design. lol.
I probably will. I don't usually share everything. They aren't usually that great. lol.

Ok, well, I'm having trouble uploading to my photobucket account right now. But what I'm doing is really a sewing project. lol. I'm making matching outfits for the kids who are going to WDW with us in Sept. Their birthdays are both in the week before our trip and they are really into the whole matchy matchy thing. I mean, the boy will be 4 and he still wears John Johns. (It's funny to me to call them that, my ds is called John John. lol) Any way. I'm making them from red gingham with a big black Mickey/Minnie head on them. On the head, I'm going to use my embroidery machine and but their name on it. I think I'm going to make the head out of felt and just tack it on. This way it is removable so they can wear them when they aren't doing the Disney theme. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to get them done before I see them in a month. (Probably not.) But if I did, I could give it to their mom so that she could use them for their birthday pics. They are having a Mickey/Minnie Party. I don't think they would use the Mickey/Minnie heads all the time, so removable would make it more wearable.
Anyway, so Kate, your Mickey was great, I just was trying to figure out the proportions for general design purposes. Like when we did the ball Mickey heads and such.

Thanks for sharing! I'd love to see a photo if Photobucket behaves. I'm not really sure what John Johns are...I'm assuming like overalls?
