First thing I’ve made in over six months. This was a request and far more fiddly than I could ever have imagined.

I sewed the beads on rather then gluing. I hope the recipient likes it!

I used acrylic DK yarn for the most part with Wollmeise for the ruffles and an acrylic 4ply for the jacket. Size 8 beads, sewn on like buttons with thread. There’s a chopstick supporting his body/head and I had to split my embroidery floss in half to sew on his beard with a fine sewing needle to get the detail as right as I could.
