Humbug

I finished the humbug I started the other day. It stitched up quickly; it just took me a while to get the cord twisted, the stuffing in and the last end stitched.

I did end up using the silk floss for the cording. It's cool how one side of it was mostly purple and the other side mostly green. That was totally random.

The perfect beads were in my stash.

Filling in the outline with the overshot pattern is a very neat idea.

Any silhouette would work.
