My son has been drawing pictures as my inspiration for my previous patterns and my daughter decided she would like a hand in the creative process as well. Nissa is a result of that. She is made of crochet thread, size #10, not yarn. In order to have the level of detail I highly recommend this size.She is 9 inches long, 4.5 inches tall and has a 6 inch wingspan. She really turned out quite sweet and has been a joy to create. The pattern includes many color photos. A digital download is available.
