About Michael
If you’re going to do a series of art dolls with Michigan roots, you’ve simply got to make one of Michigan’s greatest iconoclasts. Michael Francis Moore was born in 1954 in Davison (just east of Flint), Michigan. He is an American filmmaker, author, social critic, and activist. He is the director and producer of Fahrenheit 9/11, which is the highest-grossing documentary of all time and winner of the Palme d'Or. His films Bowling for Columbine (2002) and Sicko (2007) also placed in the top ten highest-grossing documentaries, and the former won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature. In September 2008, he released his first free movie on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, which documented his personal quest to encourage more Americans to vote in presidential elections. He has also written and starred in the TV shows TV Nation and The Awful Truth. Moore's written and cinematic works criticize globalization, large corporations, assault weapon ownership, U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, the Iraq War, the American health care system, and capitalism. (Excerpts from Wikipedia.org)

How Michael was made
Michael's body is made in the MakerDoll Medium Size, from 100% organic, (“natural”) cotton fabric, grown and woven in the USA. His arm joints are secured with cotton embroidery thread. His clothes — tshirt, baseball jacket and denims — are handmade in a MakerDoll original design, from repurposed fabrics rescued from my local thrift shop. Michael’s  facial features, which reference a popular photo, are handpainted with professional grade acrylic paints. His hat is made of felt, made in the USA. His hair is made of twisted yarn, hand-sewn onto his head with cotton embroidery thread.
