May 23, 2024--Finished the stitching on my 18th Santa designed by Janet Zickler Casey in 2005. This one, called Snowball Santa, was stitched by the designer with eyes that gave him a very mischievous look (see the project photo below). However, I felt they looked too angry, so I redesigned the eye shape and eyebrows for a kinder, more neutral expression. I like it.
PS: The thread for the nose doesn't look very well laid, but in person, it looks just fine. The window light shows every shadow of the thread strands.
